All Aboard THE POLAR EXPRESS! This memorable journey will take you on an incredible journey! Believe the magic this Holiday season!
Over 88,000 guests rode THE POLAR EXPRESS with the Great Smoky Mountains Railroad in 2017 and we hope to see you in 2018! The 1¼ hour round-trip excursion comes to life as the train departs the Bryson City depot for a journey through the quiet wilderness for a special visit at the North Pole. Set to the sounds of the motion picture soundtrack, guests on board will enjoy warm cocoa and a treat while listening and reading along with the magical story. Children’s faces show the magic of the season when the train arrives at the North Pole to find Santa Claus waiting. Santa will board THE POLAR EXPRESS, greeting each child and presenting them with a special gift as in the story, their own silver sleigh bell. Christmas carols will be sung as they return back to the Bryson City Depot.
THE POLAR EXPRESS begins November 9, 2018, and operates through December 31, 2018.

“As the Grinch took the tree, as he started to shove, he heard a small sound like the coo of a dove. He turned around fast, and he saw a small Who…”
*This event is perfect for children, but is ALL AGES! (All the Whos in Whoville are welcome.)*
The Grinch is back! But this time, we’ll make sure there are too many trees for him to steal before Christmas! Send in your own little “Who” to paint a tree of their very own to light up the house for the holidays, and pass down everyone’s favorite story to a new generation! These trees are the perfect size for small, “Who” hands and can be painted however they see fit! Let your child create their own holiday masterpiece for all to remember for years to come. He’s a mean one, that Mr. Grinch, but his heart will grow three sizes after seeing your creations!
*PLEASE purchase tickets on our website! Facebook RSVP does not save your spot!*
Tickets are $40 and include: ONE “Grinch-y” Light Up Tree and admission for ONE child to the painting party!
We will be serving cookies and hot chocolate after the trees are finished, so please let us know of any food allergies ahead of time!
This is a drop off event, as seating is limited. If you would like to attend the party with your child, please call (828) 253-8181 or message us on Facebook! No refunds, cancellations made at least 24 hours in advance can be used as store credit at Fired Up!

Every third Friday
We will be singing mostly ol’ timey hymns along with a few new ones.
This is a family event. People of all ages and from all denominations are welcome!
