Celebrate the flavors and fun of summer at Ober Mountain’s inaugural Black Bear & Berry Jam Festival! Spanning three weekends in July, this family-friendly festival combines delicious berry-inspired treats, live music, wildlife experiences, and mountain fun for a one-of-a-kind Smoky Mountain celebration.
Throughout the festival, guests can enjoy a variety of berry-themed foods, desserts, jams, jellies, and refreshing drinks while live “Berry Jam” performances provide the perfect soundtrack for a day on the mountain.
One of the festival’s highlights is the opportunity to go behind the scenes with Ober Mountain’s Wildlife Habitat. Learn more about the resident black bears, skunks, and other native wildlife during special guided tours led by the wildlife team. Educational talks, interactive experiences, and conservation information offer guests of all ages a closer look at the animals that call the Smokies home.
