Now that it’s mid-March you may be wondering what you can expect during spring at Dollywood. I visited last year around this time, so I thought I would share some highlights of this season at the theme park!
Spring at Dollywood
Typically, there’s only one festival that takes place during spring at Dollywood: Flower & Food Festival. However, new this year is the I Will Always Love You Celebration. So, while I won’t be experiencing that event, I will highlight it in this post as it is happening during spring this year.
I Will Always Love You Celebration
If you are planning to visit the theme park between now and April 8th, then you can enjoy the newest event at DW: I Will Always Love You Celebration. This event celebrates the 50th anniversary of Dolly’s hit song! The park will be highlighting song writing as well as Dolly’s style of music in general during this event.
Since this event celebrates the anniversary of a song being written, it makes sense that there’s so many performances to catch! The Songwriter’s Showcase sounds especially interesting/unique. On Saturdays there is a Celebrity Concert Series! Plus, the regular entertainment around the park will incorporate some of Dolly’s favorite songs into their performances! Check out the park’s schedule when you are visiting to see which special performances you can catch during this event.
There’s also some special event decorations in the Showstreet area as well as Market Square! You can also find and purchase some special event merchandise! Plus, there’s some special event foods throughout the park to sample! Overall, this sounds like a great addition to the park and I wish I was going to experience it.
Flower and Food Festival
If you are heading to Dollywood from April 21st to June 11th, then you can experience the beautiful Flower and Food Festival! This is a great event as there are so many great things to see and eat! I loved walking around and taking pictures of the wonderful Mosaicultures. Plus, don’t miss the wonderful umbrella sky! You can view both of these things as well as some food in my Instagram post below!
When my mom and I visited last year, it was a rainy day. However, it was still nice to walk around the park and take pictures. We really enjoyed getting a sampler pass and trying all different kinds of foods from the festival. You can see even more food in this other Instagram post:
Spring Fun
As you can see, there’s lots to see, hear, and eat when you take a spring at Dollywood visit! So, do you have plans to visit during either of these festivals? If not, I highly recommend visiting during summer at Dollywood! Additionally, Christmas in the park is awesome as is their Great Pumpkin Lumi-Nights!
