Sevierville, Tennessee Guide

Located directly North of Pigeon Forge and billed as "Your Hometown in the Smokies," Sevierville has managed to maintain its small-town appeal even though new hotels, music theaters, attractions, family-friendly restaurants and outlet centers are sprouting up everywhere. Founded in 1795, Sevierville (population 11,757) serves as the seat of Sevier County, which also includes Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge. Country music legend and entrepreneur Dolly Parton was born in nearby Locust Ridge on January 19, 1946, and Sevier County has graciously erected a statue in her honor on the lawn of the county courthouse in downtown Sevierville.

Just like its neighbor to the South, Pigeon Forge, Sevierville boasts a variety of unique, family-friendly attractions and live entertainment venues, including the Come Celebrate America! Spectacular at the Governor's Palace Theatre, Forbidden Caverns, Rainforest Adventures, Discovery Zoo, Tennessee Museum of Aviation, Smoky Mountain Deer Farm & Petting Zoo, Smoky Mountain Knife Works, NASCAR SpeedPark Smoky Mountains and Floyd Garrett's Muscle Car Museum. In addition, the Tennessee Smokies, a Double-A professional baseball team, host games at Sevierville's Smokies Stadium from April to September. Outdoor recreation opportunities abound in the Sevierville area. Sevierville is also home to the Apple Barn Cider Mill & General Store, a working apple farm that features a general store, winery, 2 restaurants, candy factory, ice-cream parlor and Christmas shop. Enjoy excellent fishing and boating at beautiful Douglas Lake, hike the trails of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park or play a round of golf at one of Sevierville's scenic courses. For a unique bird’s-eye view of the Smokies, take to the skies with Scenic Helicopter Tours.

Sevierville is also a shopper's paradise with specialty shops, factory direct outlet malls, flea markets, mountain crafts and antique stores. Annual events include Sevierville's Smoky Mountain Winterfest, Rose Glen Literary Festival, Smoky Mountain Springfest, Smoky Mountain Thunder Motorcycle & Car Show, Bloomin' Barbeque & Bluegrass Festival, Sevier County Fair, Smoky Mountain Harvest Festival, Great Smoky Mountain Auto Fest, Robert Tino's Smoky Mountain Homecoming, Smoky Mountain Winterfest and Sevierville's Christmas Parade.
