United Tastes of America
We’re thrilled to announce that Anakeesta’s United Tastes of America festival is back for Summer 2025 — and it’s bigger and more flavorful than ever! From May 23 through August 10, guests are invited to take their taste buds on a coast-to-coast culinary adventure high above Gatlinburg.
Set against the breathtaking backdrop of the Smokies, this summer-long festival features an expanded lineup of regional food and drinks from across the U.S., plus brand-new entertainment offerings the whole family will love.
This year’s highlights include:
- All-new food and beverage items representing diverse culinary traditions—from New York-style sandwiches and peach cobbler to crab specialties and nostalgic carnival treats.
- A delicious new partnership with Bush’s® Beans, featuring the debut of Mike’s Hot Honey Beans — available exclusively at Anakeesta’s Smokehouse.
- Live entertainment, including the debut of the Serenade in the Smokies Radio Show, the return of fan-favorites Pixie Belles, and lively performances from The Noon-Shiners, bringing bluegrass and country classics to life.
Guests can enhance their visit with tasting passes starting at $35.99, offering 5 or 7 food and drink samples throughout the park.
