A New Tradition at the Heritage Center! Plan Your Visit for One of Five Scheduled Evenings

The Heritage Center's "Christmas in the Village" will welcome visitors on select dates in November and December to experience Smoky Mountain traditions and demonstrations, create their own make-and-take crafts, and enjoy warm refreshments.

Guests can celebrate the holiday season with family at “Christmas in the Village” on November 28, December 5, 12, and 19, by stepping back in time to a pioneer celebration. Living history interpreters will act as guides through the holiday-adorned historic Appalachian village full of handcrafting demonstrations and craft stations, allowing visitors to connect with the spirit and history of Townsend, Cades Cove, and the Great Smoky Mountains. Kettle corn and hot cider will also be available for guests to enjoy.

“The Heritage Center’s Christmas in the Village celebration is a wonderful way to welcome in the holiday season, experience the region’s unique culture, and discover Appalachian holiday traditions,” says Executive Director Brent Lambert.

Tickets for Christmas in the Village are $10 for adults, $8 for seniors, $7 for children and children 5 and under are free. Tours begin at 5 p.m. with the last tour starting at 8 p.m. https://shop.gsmheritagecenter.org/
