Come join us for the 76th Annual
Spring Wildflower Pilgrimage in the
Great Smoky Mountains National Park!
April 22-25, 2026
The SWFP is an annual nonprofit event featuring professionally-guided walks, exhibits, and other learning opportunities to explore the region's rich natural and cultural resources. Pilgrims from more than 40 states and several countries make the pilgrimage each year to learn more about fungi, ferns, wildflowers, trees and shrubs, medicinal plants, insects (terrestrial and aquatic), salamanders and snakes, birds, mammals (bats to bears), journaling, art and photography, and park history.
A request for your support. SWFP is a nonprofit event that operates on a year-to-year budget to cover costs. Historically, these costs were strongly subsidized by Partners making substantial financial contributions. In recent years, we have experienced a changing financial landscape, requiring the SWFP to become increasingly self-sustaining through registration fees and donations. To continue to offer the breadth of experiential programs that we have had in the past, and to continue to grow the positive impact we have on our communities, we ask for your support to continue the amazing legacy of the Spring Wildflower Pilgrimage.
