Anakeesta is ushering in spring with “Blooms and Tunes,” an event to heighten the anticipation of the season. Beginning April 14. and running through May 29, the mountain will feature larger-than-life spring-themed art installations, daily live music and entertainment, chef-inspired seasonal menu items and over 10,000 new blooms in Vista Gardens. As the sun sets over the Smokies, guests can enjoy the warmer evenings on the mountain. The park comes to life at night with twinkling lights and colorful light displays throughout each village. Live music with the Anakeesta park band in Black Bear Village really puts the ‘tunes’ in Anakeesta’s Blooms and Tunes spring event. Guests will enjoy live music every day of the week while they relax in the village. From classic Bluegrass and mountain fiddling to your favorite country hits, the stage at Black Bear Village will be rockin’ out.
