Gatlinburg SkyPark Presents Rucksack Circus a Thrilling Highlining Spectacle
Red Bull Event Truck Supplies the Music and Tastings for Aerial Exhibition Event
Gatlinburg SkyPark announces "Rucksack Circus," an extraordinary highlining exhibition event scheduled for March 21 and 22, 2025. This-one-of-a-kind slacklining event will showcase elite athletes executing stunning balancing feats against the backdrop of the Great Smoky Mountains.
Unlike traditional tightrope walking, highlining presents a more dynamic and challenging discipline. Athletes will traverse nylon or polyester webbing lines suspended at dramatic heights, with tensions under 1,000 pounds, creating a responsive surface that sways and bounces with each movement. What makes this performance particularly remarkable is that these skilled performers accomplish their feats without the use of balance poles or stabilizing lines.
"This event brings together the beauty of the Smokies with impressive and exciting balancing skill of the slackliners," says Randy Watson, General Manager at Gatlinburg SkyPark.
On Saturday only, Red Bull will enhance the festival atmosphere with their event truck, offering music entertainment and complimentary Red Bull tastings throughout the day.
