New Years at The Island

The Island is a great place to visit year round but you will not believe the fun planned for this holiday. Take a stroll through the shops and find that special something that Santa forgot to put in your stocking. Take a spin on The Wheel for a romantic vantage point of the Smoky Mountains. As the sun goes down grab a bite and enjoy some live music by the amazing dancing fountains. After dinner get in the mood to celebrate with a jar of moonshine or a craft beer and wait for the show to begin. The fun kicks off at 9:00 p.m. with a concert featuring Jackie Lee, The Young Fables. At midnight the ball will drop and the fireworks will soar.
