Bear-Varian Fall Festival is Back at Anakeesta

Fall has arrived in the Smokies and Anakeesta in Gatlinburg is ready to celebrate with their Bear-Varian Fall Festival!

Anakeesta is an amazing adventure park in Gatlinburg, TN, that is full of family adventures and experiences. During the autumn season, Anakeesta is also home to the popular Bear-Varian Fall Festival. This year’s festival will take place from September 13 through October 31.

The Bear-Varian Fall Festival at Anakeesta will feature plenty of beautiful fall decor, family-friendly seasonal entertainment, and Bavarian-inspired food options. And for an additional add-on, you can purchase their Beer Tasting Card which will allow you to sample several beers from local and regional breweries.

First, let’s talk food! You can expect Bavarian-inspired goodies such as Giant Pretzels and German Chocolate Funnel Fries. Cinnamon Apple Bread Pudding and Pan Fried Pork Schnitzel are also great options! You can find the full menu lineup HERE.

The fall music and entertainment at the festival is my favorite part. This year, you can expect to see…

• The Skeletones. Performing all of your favorite Halloween hits! With songs from yesterday and today, they are sure to have you dancing in your seat as they get you in the mood for the season.

• The Scarecrow Bros. Their pair of corny scarecrow brothers work to repair their friend who has found himself in a sticky situation and they’ll need your help putting him back together!

• The Witches 3. Through song, dance, potions, and a little bit of help from guests, they will create the perfect brew guaranteed to bring the Fall Festival to life!

The Bear-Varian Fall Festival is included with your General Admission tickets to Anakeesta. Tickets start at $34.99 for adults and $22.99 for kids. You can purchase your tickets HERE.
