SUMMER IN THE SMOKIES AT ANAKEESTA
Summer in the Smokies is back at Anakeesta from June 10 through Sept. 4! This season-long spectacular at Anakeesta is one of the most popular events in Gatlinburg during the summer. Our popular summer event will run from June 10 through Sept. 4. Get ready for a mountain of Gatlinburg fun and summertime adventure with extended park hours. Dance the evening away with daily live music featuring local artists, indulge in savory seasonal eats and treats, and marvel at Sean Kenney’s stunning exhibition. New this year, Sean Kenney’s Nature Connects Made with LEGO® Bricks produced by Imagine Exhibitions will make its debut at Anakeesta. The award-winning and record-breaking exhibition features larger-than-life works of art made entirely of LEGO bricks! For the first time in Gatlinburg, the limited time exhibition explores the interconnectivity of all living things and humanity’s relationship with nature. As stewards of the living earth, Anakeesta hopes the whimsical exhibit inspires guests to appreciate and preserve nature. Fun facts: • Kenney uses only standard, off-the-shelf, commercially available LEGO pieces for his sculptures – no special colors or shapes.
