What is the “Quiltfest” event you see Pigeon Forge and some of the surrounding areas advertise in late Spring? It’s exactly what it sounds like: a huge convention for quilts, quiltmaking and the artists and eventholders who keep the age-old tradition alive.
From June 9th to June 12th for 2025, the city of Pigeon Forge will host this sleeper hit (pun intended) festival at the LeConte Conference Center in which over 20,000 visitors participate in many classes and seminars, and view some of the most gorgeous quilts in the country. More than 60 classes and seminars will be featured and a vendor mall will be onsite for enthusiasts to purchase supplies.
