As Gatlinburg gears up for the Fourth of July celebrations, the city has laid out its plan for public services during the holiday. Gatlinburg City Hall and other government offices, which include the city’s Customer Service Center and the administrative offices of the Police and Fire Departments, are set to observe the holiday by closing tomorrow, as reported by the city's official website. These offices will remain closed through the weekend, opening again promptly at 8 a.m. on the following Monday.
In contrast, essential services such as residential and commercial trash collection will not take a break; they will continue to operate as scheduled. For those looking to navigate the festivities without the hassle of driving, the Gatlinburg Trolley System is ready to provide an extended service. "Trolleys will operate for two hours following the annual ‘First in the Nation’ Independence Day Parade," which is scheduled to begin at 12:01 a.m. tomorrow. Information about routes and schedules for the trolley can be found on the Gatlinburg official website.
The Gatlinburg Community Center won't be open on the Fourth of July; however, it's set to reopen the next day at 10 in the morning. Athletes and golf enthusiasts will be pleased to know that the Gatlinburg Golf Course is staying on track with its regular hours, welcoming guests from 7 a.m. until 8 p.m. on the day of the holiday. For up-to-the-minute updates from the City of Gatlinburg, citizens can visit the official city website or check out their social media pages on Facebook and Twitter. Plus, the City’s mobile app is available for download on both Apple App Store and Google Play Store, providing another convenient option to stay informed.
