About 20 minutes away (9 miles), Gatlinburg throws the unofficial opening ceremony of winter: the Chili Cook-off and Winter Magic Celebration, November 12, 2026, staged right along the Parkway between the Mountain Mall and Gatlinburg SkyPark. Local restaurants go head-to-head for chili bragging rights while the town's Winterfest lights flicker on for the season behind them. Bring an appetite; the chili handles the staying-warm part.
