The 4th of July Celebrations continue in Gatlinburg long after the midnight parade. Don’t miss the Annual River Raft Regatta. Starting at 11:00 AM visitors can decorate their own small boat in their favorite decor and ready it to race down The Little Pigeon River. At 1:00PM the race begins and boats float down to cross the finish line at Ripley’s Aquarium of the Smokies. Participants can also choose to purchase a rubber duck to enter the race.
