March 4, 2021 - GATLINBURG, Tenn. — By popular demand, the Gatlinburg SkyLift Park, home of North America’s longest pedestrian suspension bridge, will continue to offer its themed holiday light display. With a 300-foot tunnel of vibrant lights across the SkyBridge and over 18,000 glistening green lights, the park will also have a 30-foot tall rainbow tree of lights with a pot of gold beneath it, shining shamrocks hanging from the bridge, rainbow-colored fire in the fire pit on Friday and Saturdays and more.

“The reception to these holiday light displays have been incredible,” said Randy Watson, general manager. “We’ve been quite lucky to have had so many come out and celebrate the holidays with us these past few months, so we’re excited to pay a bit of that luck forward and join the City of Gatlinburg in the spirit of its new St. Patrick’s Day Celebration.”

The event runs March 4 - 31, 2021, at Gatlinburg SkyLift Park. On March 19, the SkyLift Park will also be hosting a viewing party from the SkyBridge for the City of Gatlinburg’s Space Needle fireworks display for a special ticket price.
