Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays. This year we are spending it in the Smoky Mountains. The first thing I searched for when I was planning my family’s Thanksgiving vacation was “Where To Eat Thanksgiving Dinner In Pigeon Forge.”
It’s the one time of year we look forward to as a family. We love sitting down together no matter where we happen to travel during the holiday and share a Thanksgiving feast together.
During my research for my family’s vacation I found out Thanksgiving is one of the busiest weekends in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee.
