Green Valley Motel is on the Parkway in Pigeon Forge, close to Gatlinburg and within 5-7 minutes to the entrance to Dollywood.  Such close proximity to Dollywood invites many opportunities to see something wonderful as they routinely offer 5 major festivals and events a year.

Barbeque and Bluegrass - Now that the kids are taken care of, its time for the grown-ups to have a festival to call their own. The title leaves little to the imagination as to what Dollywood offers in September, Barbeque and Bluegrass and lots of it. Big names in both categories arrive to perform in Dollywood's main square, with free concerts from Ricky Skaggs, Doyle Lawson and Quicksilver, and the Del McCoury band. And forget the food either. Professional chefs will compete at the Sizzlin' Chef Showdown to see who can top who, but even if you miss that, there's still a mountain of slow-cooked ribs and pork and chicken that you can enjoy. Every September 5th through 28th

National Gospel and Harvest Celebration - Life moves forward in the Smoky Mountains 11/12ths of the year, but during October we take several steps back and take a look where we came from. To celebrate the mountains and the culture, Dollywood invites a month's worth of Gospel entertainment to play in the theaters while the most talented artisans in the country set up shop all over the park. With the cool air over a backdrop of orange and red mountains, this could be the most magical part of the year before Christmas, so be sure to stop by once you're in town. Every October 3rd through November 1st

Festival of the Nations - Undoubtedly the most culturally unique experience in Sevier County, Festival of the Nations has been opening Dollywood for years and will likely continue to do so for years to come. The booths and theatres all transform to accommodate talents from Ireland, South America, Asia, Africa, Russia and many other places from around the globe. Every March 28th through April 27th

Dollywood KidsFest - Naturally, Dollywood wanted to take advantage of the big Summer Vacation by offering a solstice-wide festival aimed particularly at young kids, and you should too. 2 or 3 visits to KidsFest at Dollywood could be the most fun your children have all summer with Creature Adventures, Veggie Tales, roaming characters and many other opportunities that are either family-friendly, educational, or both. Parents might even have some fun too, so be sure you don't miss it. Every June 12th through August 2nd

Smoky Mountain Christmas - Now we come to the most magical part of the year for people of all ages and Dollywood does its best to help celebrate it with old favorites like Babes in Toyland and Christmas in the Smokies. Then there's The Polar Express 4D Experience, Christmas with the Kingdom Heirs, Victorian Melodies, Appalachian Christmas and still more. Between all those sets you and the kids can find year-round fun with the Roller Coaster Rides, the County Fair, The Train, The Craftsman's Valley, The Water Rides (well, not year round, its not fun to get wet when its cold), the shops, and the restaurants, there's even an old fashioned 50's era area. The magic is alive and well at Dollywood Every November 8th through Jan 3rd

Green Valley Motel is also within walking distance to Dolly's Dixie Stampede, a dinner and show theater with musical and comedy talent, plus live animals and dancing. There is a 50-minute opening show before the main event. The Dinners consist of whole Rotisserie Chickens, Barbecued Pork Loin, Corn on the Cob, Homemade Biscuit, Vegetable Soup, Vegetable Pasta just to start. Check their web site at

And then, not far up the road is a Municipal Golf Course. This recently renovated, 18 hole golf course also features a fully equipped pro shop and food service area

What else is there to do in action packed Pigeon Forge, Tennessee? Family attractions such as go carts and bumper cars at The Track and also Roller Skate at the new Spin City both offer great fun or go Indoor Sky Diving at Fly Away, Go on a Ghost Tour, see the mountains from the inside of a giant inflatable sphere as you roll down a hill at Zorb, walk through Police, Dinosaur, Elvis museums and kayak down the river. We also have something of a theater district with dinner & theater shows, family friendly comedy sets and good old fashioned Southern Gospel and Country Music.
