History & Haunts will take place from 5pm until 9pm each Saturday during the month of October in historic downtown Sevierville. Each week’s event brings a new harvest of activities from guided historical walking tours and costume contests to storytellers, live music and lawn games.

“In addition to extending the time frame of Harvest Fest countywide, we wanted to focus on reenergizing the celebration in Sevierville by adding new events,” says Sevierville Chamber of Commerce CEO Brenda McCroskey. “Last year’s one-day History & Haunts was tremendously successful, and we felt it would be a great event to build upon.”

“The City of Sevierville is proud to partner with the Sevierville Chamber of Commerce to entertain children of all ages and celebrate the fun and magic of the season,” says City of Sevierville Sales, Marketing and PR coordinator, Kelly DeBord.

Admission to History & Haunts is free, although there may be a nominal charge for some craft activities. History & Haunts is co-produced by the Sevierville Chamber of Commerce and City of Sevierville and takes place on Bruce Street in historic downtown Sevierville, Tennessee.
