No other city in the country celebrate Independence Day like Pigeon Forge, Tennessee! When you stay at Cherokee Lodge, you will be seconds away from all of the festivities and fireworks. Here are the top six reasons to spend July 4th at our Pigeon Forge vacation condos:

1. Walk to Patriot Park

Cherokee Lodge Condos is conveniently located within easy walking distance of Patriot Park, the site of the July 4th Pigeon Forge Patriot Festival. This free Independence Day celebration kicks off at noon and features delicious food, live entertainment from the band Diamond Rio, games, and an explosive fireworks finale! Guests at Cherokee Lodge Condos can leave their car in our parking lot and avoid the traffic headaches of getting to and from this popular event.

2. Watch Fireworks from Your Balcony

Our condo units feature balconies where you can enjoy the July 4th fireworks display at Patriot Park from the comfort of your own condo. This is a great alternative for those who would rather be away from the crowds and have easy access to the conveniences of their condo. Imagine watching the sun set behind the Great Smoky Mountains from your balcony and then witnessing the incredible fireworks show… it just doesn’t get much better than that!

3. Prepare a July 4th Meal

All of our Pigeon Forge vacation condos offer beautiful open kitchens with granite countertops that make it easy to prepare a special Independence Day meal. Gather everyone around the table as you enjoy a traditional July 4th style lunch or dinner with burgers, hot dogs, potato salad, chips, and corn on the cob. Since our kitchens feature all of the conveniences of home, you will be able to whip up something tasty in a snap!

4. Go for a Swim

Since July 4th falls in the middle of the hot summer season in Pigeon Forge, this is a perfect day to take a dip in our refreshing swimming pool. The enchanting pool at Cherokee Lodge Condos features a slide and other fun features that will keep the kids occupied for hours. There is just no better way to beat the heat than by splashing around in our pool!
