Events for September 5, 2026

Make plans to experience Anakeesta’s Bear-Varian Fall Festival!

This Fall at Anakeesta, each village is transformed into a magical realm filled with autumnal décor that will leave you spellbound. Discover pumpkins, scarecrows, seasonal photo-ops and more, around every corner while looking out at the cascading red, orange, and golden leaves over the Great Smoky Mountains.

Our  hometown fair returns for a week of agriculture traditions, contests, fair food, rides, and free nightly music and entertainment.

Boots, bulls, and barrel racing take over for one night only as the Sevier County Fair Rodeo rides into town at 8pm.
