Gatlinburg SkyBridge celebrates Fourth of July with massive American Flag
The Gatlinburg SkyBridge wanted to celebrate the Fourth of July a little early this year by displaying the American Flag above Gatlinburg for all to see.
GATLINBURG, Tenn. - Gatlinburg SkyLift Park in Tennessee showed off its patriotic spirit on Friday night by unfurling a 60-foot American flag to kick off the Fourth of July weekend.
It took eight volunteers to drape the flag over the famous pedestrian bridge.
"The Gatlinburg SkyBridge wanted to celebrate the Fourth of July a little early this year by displaying the American Flag above Gatlinburg for all to see," the attraction wrote on Facebook. "Expect to see the flag hanging from the SkyBridge through the 5th of July as we celebrate this great country of ours 🇺🇸."
