Monsters On The Mountain

Gatlinburg is no stranger to monsters like BIgFoot, now they're embracing their mountain monster, with a monster rock festival. Monsters On The Mountain will take place later this summer from August 19th through the 21st in Gatlinburg.  It's heavy on classic metal, so if old-school glam is your jam, this may be the lineup of your dreams.
