Opening in 2008, Belle Island Village will feature Pigeon Forge's most exciting and unique retail shopping environment - you'll feel like you've traveled back in time to a bustling Old South river town. Shoppers can look forward to browsing specialty shops and watching local artists and craftsmen as they create their masterpieces. Retail at Belle Island will include locally oriented handmade crafts, art and collectibles. Each shop will be unique, entertaining and intended to capture the history of Eastern Tennessee craftsmanship.
