What to Expect
The festival features a full evening of delicious food, games, and entertainment, followed by an incredible Pigeon Forge fireworks finale! Since the Pigeon Forge Patriot Festival is a great way to celebrate our independence and show appreciation for our veterans, the festival will feature a “Veteran’s Salute” to thank all of the men and women who serve.
The live musical entertainment is presented by a variety of groups throughout the afternoon and evening, and attendees are welcome to bring a lawn chair to the event. Popular country band Diamond Rio will headline this year’s celebration.
