🇺🇸🎆 We’re honored to be part of one of the Southeast’s premier Independence Day celebrations!
The City of Gatlinburg puts on an incredible Fourth of July celebration each year, and we’re proud that the Gatlinburg Space Needle plays such a big role in the night’s grand finale.
Join us in downtown Gatlinburg for an unforgettable evening:
🎧 9:00 PM – DJ Dance Party at the Shade Tree Parking Lot
🚁 9:50 PM – A spectacular 200-drone patriotic light show launches from the top of the Gatlinburg Convention Center.
🎇 10:00 PM – Then look to the sky as the grand fireworks finale launches from the Gatlinburg Space Needle!
Before the festivities begin, stop by Arcadia, located at the base of the Space Needle, for classic and modern arcade games, great prizes, and fun for the whole family.
The city celebration is free and open to the public, so arrive early to enjoy downtown Gatlinburg, find parking, and grab a great viewing spot before road closures begin.
A huge thank you to the Visit Gatlinburg for bringing this incredible celebration to our community. We can’t wait to celebrate America’s birthday with all of you! 🇺🇸✨
