You may have heard some rumblings about it, but it is basically confirmed the leaves falling and the color change has already begun in Gatlinburg. Not confirmed is whether the full Autumn bloom will come sooner than usual (which is about mid-October), but with a cold winter expected to come early, visitors hoping to get a colorful Autumn trip to the Smokies might need to make arrangements to come sooner than later.
Luckily there will be plenty of special events waiting for you should you come within the next few weeks. We have the return of Oktoberfest up at Ober Gatlinburg (September 25th-November 1st), the Dollywood National Gospel and Harvest Festival in Pigeon Forge (October 2nd-31st) and the Harvest Festival Craftsmen's Fair at the W.L. Mills Auditorium in downtown Gatlinburg (October 10th-October 27th).
You can get more information on these events at www.gatlinburg.com, and more information on the Smoky Mountains at www.allthesmokies.com.
