The Gatlinburg Christmas Parade is an annual event that takes place on the Saturday after Thanksgiving in downtown Gatlinburg. It features a wide variety of floats, marching bands, and other festive entertainment. The parade typically begins at the intersection of Parkway and River Road at 3:30pm and follows the Parkway through downtown Gatlinburg before ending at Traffic Light #3. The parade is a great way to kick off the holiday season and get everyone in the spirit of Christmas!
