Well, the proverbial cat is officially out of the bag! Fee Hedrick has shared, publicly, their plans concerning the greatly anticipated Smoky Mountain Opry Christmas Spectacular’s ChristmasFest at the Opry, a jolly, jaw dropping festival located in front parking lot of the theater at traffic light 0.
Guests upon entering the ChristmasFest, will be overwhelmed by the selection of rides and activities such as: a Ferris wheel, a Christmas Carousel, a Himalaya, a Santa train, spinning Christmas bears, an Alpine Racing Sled, and let’s not forget about the HUGE covered ice skating rink! This rink is complete with skate rental, changing area, and a place for folks to just sit back and enjoy the view. Children may also spend time with Santa Claus and his LIVE reindeer (photos will be available.)
But wait, there’s more! ChristmasFest has something for all ages. Whether it is taking a ride on their horse drawn carriage rides or a stroll through the Arts and Crafts Village, guests will be swept away with Christmas Spirit. Should they get hungry, they can fill up on Wassail, hot chocolate, popcorn balls, roasted nuts, and other Christmas themed menu items provided by food vendors.
One of the most LIP SMACKABLE features of the festival is a S’mores Pit. Guests will be able to roast their own ewwy, gooey marshmallows to their hearts delight. This mouth watering treat is the epitome of an outdoorsy Christmas eat!
Speaking of outdoors, the ChristmasFest and Smoky Mountain Opry Christmas Spectacular (heavily peppered with lighted trees and garland) will feature an outdoor synchronized light show every 30 minutes all choreographed to Christmas music. An entertainment stage will also be available and community choirs and featured performers will play for the live crowd.
While specifics on the Smoky Mountain Opry Christmas Spectacular are being kept as tightly under wraps as a Christmas present, we do know that there plans to be an INCREDIBLE indoor laser light and special effect show. This, too, shall be choreographed to Christmas music. There will also be a BRAND NEW stage, floating musicians, and flying sugar plum fairies.
Well, there you have it folks. The imagination and creativity over at Fee Hedrick knows no end, but maybe that is what we all need and ESPECIALLY at Christmas time. The Smoky Mountain Opry Christmas Spectacular opens November 4th and the ChristmasFest opens November 1st.Visit their website today at www.SmokyMtnOpry.com! Hope to see you there:)
