5 of the Best Things to Do in Pigeon Forge You Can’t Find Anywhere Else

1. Watch the Longest-Running Feud in History at Hatfield & McCoy

You certainly won’t see a show like ours anywhere else in the Smokies, or the country, for that matter! While enjoying an all-you-can-eat Southern feast, you get to take part in the longest-running feud in history, complete with side-splittin’ comedy, live music, dancing, diving dogs, stunts, and more. It’s an action-packed show that families return to time and time again!

2. Visit the Titanic Museum Attraction & Our Dinner Theater on the Same Day

Because our comedy dinner show is next door to the Titanic Museum Attraction, you can easily go to both attractions in one day. You’ll have plenty of time to explore the museum before heading next door for dinner and a show. We make it even easier by offering combo tickets, so you can purchase tickets for the Hatfield & McCoy Dinner Feud plus the Titanic Museum Attraction in one seamless transaction! Only in Pigeon Forge can you double the fun and enjoy both activities with your family on the same day.

3. Experience Dollywood During a Seasonal Festival

Dollywood is an iconic, one-of-a-kind theme park on its own, but when you visit during one of the park’s seasonal festivals, it’s a completely different experience! The festival season starts in the spring with the I Will Always Love You Music Festival before fully bursting into bloom with the Flower & Food Festival, and its iconic umbrella sky, flower sculptures, and garden-fresh culinary delights. Dollywood’s Smoky Mountain Summer Celebration brings extended park hours, a bubble show, and a drone and fireworks finale in addition to the world-class roller coasters and rides. In the fall, the theme park transforms for the Harvest Festival, with towering pumpkin trees and the crowd-favorite Great Pumpkin Luminights, and in the winter, Smoky Mountain Christmas creates a magical atmosphere with millions of festive lights, heartwarming shows, delicious treats, and so much more!

4. See the Funniest Christmas Show in Pigeon Forge

If you’re coming to Pigeon Forge during the holiday season, you can’t miss one of the area’s Christmas shows! If you’re looking for a show that has it all (comedy, dancing, music, animals, and more), then you’ve got two fantastic options: Christmas at Hatfield & McCoy and The Comedy Barn Christmas Show. Wondering which one to visit? You’ll just have to make plans to go and see both for yourself and then decide which one is funnier!

5. Tour Historic Sites Along the Cades Cove Scenic Loop

Just a short drive from Pigeon Forge, Cades Cove is a picturesque valley and one of the most popular places to visit in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. With its winding 11-mile loop road, numerous historic buildings, and wildlife viewing, there’s really nothing that compares to its natural beauty and scenery. We suggest biking the loop during Vehicle-Free Wednesdays during the summer and stopping to walk around the various churches, homesteads, barns, and even a working gristmill!
