The Great Smoky Mountains Music Train is taking the rails for its maiden voyage. Step aboard a historic steam-powered train for an unforgettable musical journey along the stunning Nantahala River and Fontana Lake. Experience six live performances, each set in its own vintage coach. Wander freely between cars, grab a seat in one of four comfortable coaches, or head to the two open cars designed for dancing. Take in scenic views, enjoy nonstop music, and soak up a one-of-a-kind evening on the rails.
