From your home base in Bryson City, you can easily enjoy great music and entertainment not only in town, but also in Franklin, Dillsboro, Sylva, Cherokee and Stecoah. We've got some great venues – from small restaurants to larger auditoriums like Harrah's Cherokee Casino and the Smoky Mountain Theater for the Performing Arts. And we've got everything from gospel to rock, from big bands to ballet and from drama to comedy. So come to the mountains to enjoy the fresh air and the scenery by day and plenty of entertainment at night. Events listed are in Bryson City unless otherwise noted.
