One of the best autumn extravaganzas is coming to a close. Dollywood’s Harvest Festival is going out with a bang… and prizes for the first five-hundred costumed kids!

 

Are you ready to win a prize as an early bird family with costumed kids? This weekend’s end to Harvest Festival is just the ticket to get free refills and a sweet treat. And all you need is one cute kiddo dressed for the season!

Celebrate the wonder of the changing seasons with the return of Dollywood’s Harvest Festival. Experience the beauty of a Smoky Mountain fall as the forests come alive with vivid color, the smells of apple and pumpkin treats waft through the streets, and the sounds of thrilling rides fill the air with adventure. After sundown, award-winning Great Pumpkin LumiNights presented by Covenant Health glows even brighter with the debut of the new Hoot Owl Hollow. Discover an enchanting hideaway where a larger-than-life glowing owl and her friendly family have come home to roost among the whimsical warming glow of more than 12,000 illuminated pumpkins and towering pumpkin icons.

To celebrate the final day of Dollywood’s Harvest Festival presented by Humana, we are inviting our youngest guests (ages 12 & younger) to visit on Sunday, Oct. 30 in their costumed best!

The first 500 children wearing a costume who enter the park will receive a Harvest sweet treat as well as a festive cup good for free refills all day. These complimentary gifts will be distributed while supplies last at the main front gate entrance from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.

At 2 p.m. that afternoon, all costumed kids and their families are invited to participate in a costume parade in the Wildwood Grove led by beloved Dollywood characters including the one-and-only Miss Lillian! End the night with a walk through thousands of glowing pumpkins including the all-new Hoot Owl Hollow.

Don’t miss out on all the harvest family fun before it glows away! The Harvest Festival ends Sunday, Oct. 30.
