Pigeon Forge is known for its stunning light displays during the holiday season. Visitors can experience the magic of Winterfest Lights, which runs from Nov. 6, 2026 through Jan. 31, 2027 this season. With more than 6 million lights draped throughout the city, Pigeon Forge creates a winter wonderland for locals and guests alike to enjoy.
The Old Mill
One of the must-see light displays is the Old Mill Display, located at Patriot Park. The display features a large water wheel and a variety of other festive scenes, all lit up with twinkling lights. Visitors can stroll through the display and take in the sights and sounds of the holiday season.
Lights Along the Parkway
In addition to the Old Mill Display, visitors can also enjoy the Christmas Lights throughout the city. The lights are strategically placed to create a cohesive and magical experience for visitors. A drive down the Pigeon Forge Parkway will treat you to a view of the 12 Days of Christmas in lights.
