Join us for the Feast of Tabernacles in stunning Gatlinburg, Tennessee, one of the most popular vacation destinations in the United States. Nestled at the gateway to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park—the most visited national park in the country—this picturesque area offers breathtaking scenery and countless opportunities for exploration. This year’s Feast falls at the perfect time to experience the spectacular fall colors of the Smokies.

The Great Smoky Mountains National Park spans 800 square miles and boasts over 900 miles of hiking trails, allowing visitors to discover lush forests, cascading waterfalls and stunning mountain vistas. With an average October temperature of 71 degrees Fahrenheit for the high and 44 degrees for the low, and typically just six days of precipitation, the weather should be ideal for outdoor activities.

Services

Daily services will be held at Rocky Top Sports World, a top-tier facility with ample free on-site parking and a convenient drop-off area by the front entrance. Additional learning opportunities may be available through seminars, youth education classes and Bible studies.

Dining

With over 100 restaurants in the area, you’ll find a variety of dining options—from casual eateries to fine dining experiences perfect for a special night out.

Housing

A wide range of lodging options are available within a reasonable distance, including budget-friendly motels, multi-room condos, cabins and rental homes. Attendees will be responsible for arranging their own accommodations.

Activities

We anticipate a family dance, a seniors’ activity and several sporting events (depending on interest). Additional activities will be announced on the UCG members’ website: ucg.org/members/feast/sites/gatlinburg-tennessee

Beyond Feast activities, Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge, and Sevierville offer a wealth of entertainment for all ages:

  • Live music, theater and dinner shows
  • Miniature golf, go-kart tracks and family attractions
  • Shopping, artisan galleries and a vibrant crafts community
