Mark Wills
Returning to Gatlinburg, Academy of Country Music Award Winner, Mark Wills will co-headline the popular parade. Wills, a Grand Ole Opry Member with chart-topping hits such as “I Do (Cherish You), “19 Somethin’”, and “Don’t Laugh at Me” will ring in the holiday season on a festive float. Wills has released both Gold and Platinum albums throughout his career, producing over 19 Billboard hits. In addition to releasing cherished country music, throughout the decades, Wills has also taken more than a dozen trips to Iraq, Kuwait, Afghanistan, Korea, and Italy to entertain U.S. troops. The parade marks Wills’ third consecutive trip to the Smokies during the holidays, honoring a family tradition. “I have been coming to Gatlinburg my entire life. That translates into Gatlinburg being the very first vacation that my then girlfriend (which became my wife) on Nov 30, 1996, Kelly and I ever took together. We have brought our girls up here multiple times per year since they were born,” says Wills. “tio, it’s very easy to say that Gatlinburg holds a very special place in our hearts. This year, I will include not only my family but my first grandchild Huck into this special Christmas tradition. We truly are honored to be back and think of the Smokies as our second home.”

I also want to thank you for all your videos and the way you edit them. I like the narrative style while showing what's going on. You are the best at being our local you tuber. Keep up the good work.
@@RK-yx6tp happy to help, we appreciate the support!
You ned to slow it down just a bit. That was the fastest parade I have ever seen!
@@barbarashirley3278 lots of floats they did go by quick to cover a lot of ground. This one was a little slower >> ua-cam.com/video/tgOR53W7Hu0/v-deo.html
Thank you for this wonderful video! Each one you and your family offer us is truly a breath of fresh air.
God bless you all!
Thanks Sue, we just wanted to put this together for other families to enjoy together!
I was there! Lots of people. It was very fun! You do an excellent job capturing the parade.
Thanks! We hope it helps people who want to see the Gatlinburg Christmas parade!
I thought it was great that you just let your viewers enjoy the parade, with the parade moderator’s narrative!! Once again you show Ryan, that your channel is about your viewers, not about not some delusional opportunity to be some sort of celebrity. The folks you are want as viewers will see the difference. Thanks for being a moral choice without a deceptive facade like some others👍🏻☺️🙏🏻.
I talked to the moderator today at the Sevierville parade. He said they asked him to stop because it was being heard on the TV station broadcast. I told him he was doing a great job & wished he could have continued through the entire parade!
Always something!!🙄😣
@@Moose-man he was doing great, I wish the TV station didn't complain about him doing it! Did you see the giant camera rig the TV station set up in front of everyone fall down?
Guess I missed it?? I thought he was doing fine☺️.
@@Moose-man look at the 15:42 mark in the video. If it fell on someone I would have jumped in to help, but it was just equipment damage that the other TV crew members jumped in to help him re-assemble it.
And I thought the huge candy cane prizes at Dollywood that take 2 people to carry were big! Very nice parade. Thanks for the coverage, as always, Ryan!
Thanks Marvin!
Best view of the parade! We love those marching bands. Our grandson is in the Alton School District Jazz Marching Band. He plays the Trombone. Thank you once again Ryan for putting out one if not the best quality video! Merry Christmas to your family from ours. God Bless!

A fantastic parade 😀
The Gatlinburg Christmas parade is great!
I love the video you did with the Gatlinburg Christmas parade it reminds me of the Christmas parade in West Chester pa they get like anywhere from 10 to 20 plus high school marching bands in that parade the parade is sponsored by QVC and channel 6 out of Philadelphia every year
Glad you enjoyed it!
Merry Christmas Gatlinburg. 🎅 🤶 . Hope you guys have a great Christmas and a happy new year.
You too Tim!
lol I was in the grandstand on the right of you. Was interesting when the camera fell crashing down
Yeah, I don’t think that think is very safe and should not be put in the street over people’s heads! Thankfully no one was hurt!
So nice
👍
Beautiful ❤️ I love this parade
It's great!
Great parade Ryan. It seemed like it was longer this year than last year's. I enjoyed it a lot.
I thought the Gatlinburg Christmas parade seemed longer too. I am uploading the Sevierville Christmas parade right now!
@@AdventureIsOutThere If we both agree to the length of it, then we are correct. LOL. I thoroughly enjoyed it, as I will also the Sevierville parade.
@@thecoolestdad 🎄👍
Nice job! Thanks for posting this! Merry Christmas 🎄
Our pleasure!
Hello! I am one of the Byhalia's marching band members, I am Alex Woods, 13 (turning 14 in September) and I really loved this parade, first time being on TV aswell! Sorry I am late commenting this by the way, but still thanks for sharing the video!

Amazing. 🎄🎄🎄

A Ryan I was at the parade last night. Did you see the moonshine coaster float? I have decorated that.
I did see it, it looked great in the Gatlinburg Christmas parade & the Sevierville parade I will upload asap.
Very nice parade! I just wish it had been performed at a much slower pace. i don't think any narrator could have kept up with the pace. 😮
Some of the floats did seem to whizz by at the Gatlinburg Christmas parade!
I always enjoy a good parade. Was that a local television crew who lost the camera off their boom?
It was, thankfully no one was under the arm at the time when it fell apart during the Gatlinburg Christmas parade!
I don't know if Gatlinburg dose the same thing but when the high schools March in the west Chester pa Christmas parade they compete for cash prizes for the high school from QVC and the banks in that area
I don’t think they do that here.
I cringed as I saw the multi thousand dollar camera fall off the boom in front of you and crashed on the road. I think he was able to get it working again. Anyway, thanks for the video. We were there vicariously through your channel.
You and me both. Thankfully it was just equipment and no one was hurt! Happy to bring you virtually to the Gatlinburg Christmas parade!
Ryan, what camera are you shooting with? Video looks great. 👍
Just filmed the Gatlinburg Christmas parade on an iphone! Glad you enjoyed it Gil!
Love the iPhone & the 360 you use, sometimes. Again, great job.
@@Gil_Gilbert I'll try to upload a video breaking down all the equipment we like to use asap!
What the date for 2024 parade
It hasn't been set yet, but will try to announce it on our Facebook page when they do: facebook.com/AIOTfamily
