Now we're in the thick of Springfest in the Smokies, and we couldn't be happier! The Great Smoky Mountains are in FULL bloom, with wildly colorful flowers covering nearly every inch of the forests around here, coincide spectacularly with the mild and sunny weather and the additional "bloom" of the new activities coming back to Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg.
First and foremost, Dollywood is open again and opening up with Festival of the Nations. If you've never done Festival of the Nations, you don't know what you're missing. Take the already incredibly entertaining theme park, with a brand new and hotly anticipated Wild Eagle rollercoaster, and add multi-cultured shows and vendors all throughout the park.
If you'd like to get discount tickets in addition to your stay with us here at Deer Ridge, contact us at www.highlandscondos.com.
