Dollywood Resort in Tennessee has become much more than a regional theme park. Boasting hotels, cabins, a theme park, a water park and more, Dollywood has become a tourist destination! Now they’re preparing to celebrate spring with the Flower and Food Festival!

Coming off a tremendous 2023 in which Dollywood was named the world’s greatest theme park by The Golden Ticket Awards (and winner of four additional category trophies), the Smoky Mountain park is gearing up for more greatness. Once a small, regional locale for locals, Dollywood has grown into a sprawling oasis of mountain fun. With the Great Smoky Mountains National Park available just miles away for guests to explore — along with a tremendous tourism industry all around it — we’re excited to see what Dollywood has in store this year! That’s why the Flower and Food Festival might just be a big more festive than usual!

Here’s what Dollywood has to say about it:

Experience the splendor of springtime in the Smokies. Blooming to life in spectacular color, Dollywood’s Flower & Food Festival presented by Covenant Health celebrates the beautiful blossoms and fresh flavors of the season with larger-than-life Mosaicultures, unique foods, and NEW stage shows! Capture picture-perfect moments under our signature Umbrella Sky and hear inspiring sounds of springtime as live music fills the air. Celebrate spring with all your senses.

Best of all, Dollywood’s website notes you can visit for two days at less than sixty dollars per day (plus tax)!

Half A Million Marvelous Blooms

Beautiful blooms have returned to blanket the park in a vibrant display of springtime splendor. Stroll among more than 500,000 vibrant flowers, blooming in brilliant hues of purple, pink and yellow. See them stretch as far as the eye can see and even bloom sky high in our signature Mosaicultures. Discover towering sculptures made of living plants, taking the form of Smoky Mountain critters like mischievous bears, a playful peacock, a busy beekeeper and even Dolly’s mother, carefully stitching her iconic Coat of Many Colors.

A Taste Of Mouthwatering Flavors

 

Showstopping Springtime Performances

Hall Sisters

As our flowers fill the air with their sweet scents, so too do the sounds of lively entertainers and all-new shows filling the streets and stages of Dollywood. Wander through the park to hear live music wafting from around every flower-filled corner. Grab a seat to watch a show on an outdoor stage, or simply listen as you explore.
