Here’s everything you need to know about the United Tastes of America Festival at Anakeesta:
The United Tastes of America Festival is the perfect way to celebrate the spirit of America all summer long, as this unique seasonal event at Anakeesta runs from late May to early August! Pick up a tasting pass to enjoy your choice of either 5 or 7 culinary delights from various regions of our great country, including such delicious offerings as New England lobster rolls, Southern chicken fried steak, and hearty Cajun gumbo! Of course, items can also be purchased al-la-carte in the park at each location. As you stroll around the park, you’ll encounter famous Americana landmarks and lots of stunning Smoky Mountain overlooks! Don’t miss the chance to enjoy a performance from the Tennessee Line, Anakeesta’s in-house bluegrass and country music band!
Anakeest is conveniently located right along the Parkway in Gatlinburg TN! To access the mountaintop, you can choose between a scenic Chondola (chairlift/gondola) ride for an aerial view of the Smokies or a Ridge Rambler vehicle for a fun journey through the forest! When planning your vacation, be sure to check Anakeesta's operating schedule for the most updated information. Admission for the United Tastes of America Festival is included with your general admission ticket to Anakeesta, which also includes the live entertainment.
