The spirit of America is soaring through the Smokies this Summer during Anakeesta’s United Tastes of America. This summer, pick up a tasting pass and “travel” across the country, visiting 12 states, tasting distinct culinary creations from each respective region. Enjoy daily regional entertainment offerings and live music with The Tennessee Line, our in-house folk band, and snap a photo with The Pixie Belles, dressed in red, white, and blue who bring the park to life with songs and dance. See famous Americana landmarks as you wonder through the park immersing you in the culinary culture of the United States and the rich flavors we have to offer.
From May 1 through May 8, residents and workers in Blount, Cocke, Jefferson, and Sevier Counties will be able to enjoy a mountaintop adventure in the Smokies for just $5, all while contributing to a wonderful cause. Part of the proceeds from Local Appreciation Day sales will benefit Friends of the Smokies.
