SUMMARY:Townsend Christmas Parade
DESCRIPTION:Exclusive Smith Creek Resort Deals — Delivered Monthly \n        \n      \n      \n      \n       Subscribe \n    \n      \n\n\n						\n				\n									\n				\n				\n				\n						\n				\n					\n				\n				\n						\n					\n			\n						\n				\n					\n        	            Townsend Christmas Parade	            \n	                A Quiet-Side Holiday Tradition	            	            \n	                The Townsend Christmas Parade is a small-town parade on the Peaceful Side of the Smokies\, starting at the Townsend Visitor Center and processing through the heart of downtown Townsend. Smaller and quieter than the Gatlinburg and Sevierville parades\, it features local fire trucks\, community groups\, lighted entries\, and Santa Claus — and it’s a great alternative for visitors looking for a less-crowded Christmas experience. A scenic drive from Smith Creek Resort and a perfect addition to a multi-parade Smokies weekend. Who It’s For: Families\, locals\, visitors staying in Townsend\, and parade fans wanting an off-the-beaten-path option. What to Expect: Local fire trucks\, community groups\, lighted floats\, marching groups\, Santa Claus\, and a relaxed small-town atmosphere. Do’s: Arrive at the Townsend Visitor Center area early\, bring chairs\, and combine with a Cades Cove drive for fall-to-winter foliage. Don’ts: Don’t expect a large parade — this is a small-town community gathering. 	                    				\n				\n					\n		\n				\n			\n						\n						\n					\n			\n						\n				\n					\n        	            \n	                Information	                    				\n				\n				\n				\n					\n                                                    \n                                                                        Location: Downtown Townsend\, TN (begins at the Townsend Visitor Center\, 7906 E Lamar Alexander Pkwy)                                                        \n                                                                        Phone: 865-448-6134                                                                                \n                                                                        Website: townsendvisitorscenter.com/                                                                                \n                                                                        Distance from Smith Creek Resort: ~30 miles / ~55 min                            				\n				\n				\n				\n					\n        	            \n	                Date and Timings	                    				\n				\n				\n				\n					\n                                                    \n                                                                        Start Date: December 5\, 2026\nEnd Date: December 5\, 2027\nHours: 2:30 PM – 4:00 PM                            				\n				\n				\n				\n					\n        	            \n	                What to Know	                    				\n				\n				\n				\n					\n                                                    \n                                                                        Type of Experience: Small-town community Christmas parade.                                                        \n                                                                        Fun Fact: Townsend's parade ends at the former location of Nawger Nob Village — a nod to one of the area's historic mountain community gathering spots.                            				\n				\n					\n		\n					\n		\n					\n		\n					\n		\n				\n						\n					\n			\n						\n				\n					\n            \n                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    \n            				\n				\n				\n							\n  Upcoming Events\n  \n     \n            \n        \n		\n			          \n             Kick off the holiday season with a charming small-town celebration featuring live music\, family activities\, hot cocoa\, and the ceremonial…  \n             Learn More ->  \n        \n        \n           Christmas at the Courthouse — Sevierville Tree Lighting \n           December 3\, 2026 \n						\n        \n         \n            \n        \n		\n			          \n             Experience one of America's premier Christmas parades with dazzling floats\, marching bands\, festive performances\, and a special visit from Santa…  \n             Learn More ->  \n        \n        \n           Gatlinburg Fantasy of Lights Christmas Parade \n           December 4\, 2026 \n						\n        \n         \n            \n        \n		\n			          \n             Enjoy a classic hometown Christmas parade filled with festive floats\, community groups\, marching bands\, and holiday cheer.
