About This Event

Community fall festival in the quiet valley between Pigeon Forge and Townsend featuring local food, live mountain music, handmade crafts, and the autumn colors of the Smokies. Wears Valley is the 'back door' to the national park - a more serene alternative to the Parkway.

Wears Valley is the Peaceful Side's peaceful side - no traffic, no Parkway crowds, just mountain views and genuine community. Combine with a scenic drive into the park through the 'back door' entrance at Metcalf Bottoms.
