Theme parks across the country have caught on to the culinary strategy of limited-time events. Families turn out in droves so that kids can ride rides and adults can taste fun samplings.
The 2023 Dollywood Flower and Food Festival is on the way and there are a number of exciting food and drink offerings being cooked up. Much like the Epcot festivals at Walt Disney World, Dollywood has begun implementing special events with a large list of interesting eats and drinks. One of the nice concepts out of this has been Dollywood offering an “eat around the world” concept in which guests can pay a cover fee to then have multiple samples at a discount.
Here’s this year’s menu!
