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

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.
