In March, foodies flock into town for the Rainbows and Ramps festival, which celebrates the local delicacies of rainbow trout and wild ramps (a type of wild baby leek). In winter, expect snow and chillier temperatures perfect for snuggling up in a cozy cabin in Cherokee.
The crisp but sunny weather is perfect for hiking, rafting, and enjoying the outdoors. The most popular time to visit Cherokee is in October, when the leaves change colors, painting the Smoky Mountain scenery in shades of rust, bronze, and gold.
