When staying at our Smoky Mountains bed and breakfast this summer, be sure to head into nearby Gatlinburg for Smoky Mountains Tales and Tunes.

Tunes and Tales, in Gatlinburg.

This is the fifth year story tellers and musicians have taken to the streets of Gatlinburg with guitars in hand and tales on their tongues. Performers gather in the heart of Gatlinburg at 5pm nightly, and for the next 5 hours, the Parkway transforms from a street into a stage. As many as 18 different groups may perform on any given evening.

Clogging groups, duos and trios take to the streets. Listen for traditional bluegrass and Appalachian music. Listen to tales from Uncle Tubby, Ol’ Rowdy, and Smiley Burdett, and learn about quilting from Quiltin’ Annie. Whatever you do, don’t step out of line during Miss Nan’s lesson.

Enjoy this magical transformation of Gatlinburg when staying at our Gatlinburg area bed and breakfast from now through August 7, 2010.
