Here are just some of the fun ways you can celebrate St. Patrick’s Day while staying in our cabins in Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge TN:

1. Attend the Titanic’s Annual Irish Celebration

The Titanic was constructed in the heart of Ireland, so the Titanic Museum Attraction in Pigeon Forge is celebrating throughout March with Irish singing and music! The construction of the Titanic started at the end of March 1909 in Belfast, Ireland, and set sail on its maiden voyage in April of 1912 from Southampton, England. There were 159 Irish passengers and crew members aboard the ship, which outnumbered all of the other nationalities on board. Visit the Titanic’s Annual Irish Celebration to pay tribute to these Irish passengers, listen to some great Irish music and explore artifacts from the famous ship!

2. Visit Dollywood

Another great way to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day while staying in our cabins in Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge TN is by visiting Dollywood! This exciting theme park opens for the new season in March and features amazing shows, delicious food, and some of the best thrill rides in the country. One of the featured rides is The Wild Eagle, which soars you through the park as your feet dangle down below.  Some of the other roller coasters to check out include the Mystery Mine, Thunderhead, Tennessee Tornado, and Lightning Rod! Your admission to Dollywood includes all the rides and the fantastic shows throughout the park.

3. Prepare a Traditional Irish Meal in Your Cabin

One of the fantastic benefits of staying at Acorn Cabin Rentals is that you have access to a fully equipped kitchen with modern amenities. This means that you can prepare a traditional Irish meal in the comfort of your own cabin to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day! Whether you want to make corned beef and cabbage, shepherd’s pie, Irish stew or soda bread, our kitchen has all the necessities to make your delicious meal. The only thing that you need to bring is your grocery supplies, which can be picked up at one of the several local grocery stores in Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge.

4. Search for Shamrocks

If you have young children in your family, celebrate St. Patrick’s Day by hunting for shamrocks at Great Smoky Mountains National Park! This is a fun way to get your kids into the spirit of the holiday while enjoying some great exercise. While hiking the trails, you will likely find more wildflowers than shamrocks but you never know when the luck of the Irish might be on your side. Just watch out for those pesky Leprechauns along the trails!
