Whether you’re down for a good scare or like to collect your treats and go, we’ve compiled a list of 4 ways to celebrate Halloween in the Smokies. We hate to break it to you, but we’ve done the easy part of making the list. The hard part for you will be choosing which one to do first!
Ripley’s Fright Nights
Every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday in October, Ripley’s Haunted Adventure is turning up the scares! Gather your bravest friends and check out our ALL-NEW Haunted Adventure, complete with even more terrifying characters and frights around every corner.
Ripley’s has a history of going all out, so beware, Fright Night is not for the faint of heart. Prepare for a night of screams, laughter, and fun (if you dare!).
Dollywood LumiNights
Come one, come all! Dollywood LumiNights is the biggest event of the Fall! Presented by Humana, the Dollywood Harvest Festival runs from September 22nd through November 4th.
If tricks aren’t your thing but you’re all about treats, we can’t think of anything sweeter than this event. Experience the beauty of the Smokies as the park comes alive with the colors, smells, and flavors of the season. Once the sun goes down, that’s when the real fun begins. Presented by Covenant Health, the award-winning Great Pumpkin LumiNights illuminates the sky with the flicking glow of over 12,000 pumpkins.
