From fireworks, to live music, to confetti, the Smoky Mountains are bustling with excitement on New Year’s Eve. There’s no better place to celebrate the end of a year filled with great memories and laughter and the start of a new year than in Gatlinburg. When you stay at Sidney James Mountain Lodge, you’re just minutes away from the top spots to be on the big night. Check out these 4 ways to celebrate New Year’s Eve in Gatlinburg.
1. New Year’s Eve Ball Drop and Fireworks Show
Every year, Gatlinburg hosts a New Year’s Eve Ball Drop and Fireworks Show that is the perfect celebration to end the year. All the fun excitement takes place at the Gatlinburg Space Needle. Not only will you get to watch the ball drop, but as soon as the clock strikes midnight, beautiful fireworks light up the night sky, and special music choreographed for the fireworks show can be heard. This event is great for families and close friends wanting to ring in the new year. Plus, this celebration features a drone show that illuminates the sky above the downtown strip before the fireworks, so you’ll be entertained the whole time. And, even better, when you stay at Sidney James Mountain Lodge, you’re just minutes from the Space Needle, so you won’t have to worry about finding a place to park!
2. Firework Viewing from the Gatlinburg SkyPark
Another of the best ways to celebrate New Year’s Eve in Gatlinburg is to check out NYE Lights of Wonder at the Gatlinburg SkyPark! From the SkyPark's top, you'll witness the incredible Gatlinburg Space Needle and a stunning fireworks display. The park sits 500 feet above Gatlinburg and about 100 feet above the fireworks launch pad. Remember, tickets for this exclusive experience are separate from your SkyPark admission.
