Gatlinburg Winterfest 2024 And Chili Cookoff. I am considering a trip down in nov to see the chili cookoff and start of winterfest. Anyone visited then and if so how is the cookoff and how is gatlinburg lit up?

For more than 35 years, the city of gatlinburg has celebrated the beginning of winterfest with its annual gatlinburg chili cookoff presented by bush’s beans.
