More than thirteen-thousand pumpkin decorations are being prepared for a Harvest Festival that is sure to be a real “hoot”!

 

Dollywood Theme Park is readying itself for the annual Harvest Festival that sees thousands of pumpkins, decorations, seasonal treats and special music features throughout the park. This year, the park is also offering a new exhibit that focuses on the beauty of autumn at night. Hoot Owl Hollow will feature hundreds of pumpkins that celebrate nighttime fun, even during the day, with a special emphasis on the wise old birds of prey with the great big eyes.

“I just know folks are going to get a kick out of the new Hoot Owl Hollow. And in ‘owl’ seriousness, I hope our guests make their own precious Smoky Mountain memories while they are here. As I look back on my favorite family memories, so many of them took place during this time of year, and I hope our guests leave with those special moments they’ll share forever.

I think everybody knows I believe every day in the Smoky Mountains is beautiful and truly a gift from God, but I do feel like fall is when He really puts on a show for all of us to admire and enjoy. As the leaves change, the mountains transform into a patchwork of bright, vibrant colors that make them look as if they’ve come alive. The hot summer days start to fade and crisp, cool winds bring that fresh mountain air down into the valleys and right into my Dollywood. To me, this has to be the most beautiful theme park in the whole world, because no park in the world is built right in the middle of the Smokies!”
