A Brit of Magic With Keith Fields
Gatlinburg does have a small vein representing a UK culture in the area, and that small but pleasant vein grows with the entertainment of Keith Fields – world champion street magician who has appeared on Broadway in New York, London’s West End, Las Vegas, and apparently even had Robin Williams as a warm-up act. How many entertainers like that do you get to see in the Smokies? http://www.gatlinburg.com/things-to-do/details.aspx?id=1309
Appalachian Ghostwalks
Are you into the darker side of the night? Got a thing for local folklore?

Gatlinburg Mountain Coaster
After becoming a big hit on Wears Valley Road, the people who own the Smoky Mountain Alpine Coaster brought one to North Gatlinburg to add a new unique attraction for visitors to enjoy. Come soar through the hills of the city like never before! www.smokymountainalpinecoaster.com

Gatlinburg Craftsmen Fair
A special event so large, Gatlinburg has to throw it several times a year!
