PIGEON FORGE, TN – After being named by USA Today as the country’s best fall theme park event last year, Dollywood’s Harvest Festival presented by Humana is back 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. Sept. 25-Oct. 31 with several fresh changes.

A colorful, lively atmosphere greets guests each day includes decorations and landscaping techniques to immerse visitors into fall. Guests can peruse more than 12 new colossal pumpkins, ranging from 800 to more than 1,500 lbs. each. The displays come from growers across the East Coast who look forward to sharing their prize pumpkins with Dollywood park patrons.

By night, Great Pumpkin LumiNights presented by Covenant Health expands into Wildwood Grove. New this season, guests can purchase a reduced-price ticket which provides entry after 5 p.m. for those who want to make a quick trip to the park to experience the pumpkins as they glow to life. The limited-time offer, which is just $35 plus tax, is available online only; blackout dates apply.

Music plays an integral part of this festival, with the largest number of performances during any event ever at Dollywood. Guests can enjoy more than 800 concerts during the run of the festival from Southern gospel and bluegrass artists appearing on eight different outdoor stages. Additional artists can be found roaming the park, literally taking the music to the streets!

Culinary creations abound including smoked beef brisket, turkey legs and sausage paired with fried green tomatoes, fire-roasted corn and sweet potato casserole. For sweet treats, the ever-popular pumpkin spice is in full supply with items ranging from pumpkin spice milkshakes and cinnamon rolls to a twist on the park’s beloved cinnamon bread. Pumpkin praline funnel cake, hot wassail and harvest kettle corn are also available.

The park is closed on Tuesdays and Thursdays throughout the festival.
