Hi Everyone,
Dollywood has released information related to the Harvest Festival, including the Tasting Pass and their festival menu. The Harvest Festival starts on Monday, September 9th and runs thru October 28th.
Dollywood remains open daily throughout the Harvest Festival, operating from 10am to 9pm. The planned closures following the festival strongly suggest that the park is gearing up for the transition to Smoky Mountain Christmas, which begins on November 1st.

🟠Rides - All of the rides should be in operation. Daredevil Falls usually closes at dusk, while Smoky Mountain Rampage usually closes with the park. The last day of the season for the two water rides, in the recent past, has been the end of the Harvest Festival, So, October 28, 2024.
Dollywood does have Weather Guidelines that they follow for inclement weather and temperatures, and Smoky Mountain Weather can throw some curveballs. Read my blog post about Dollywood's Weather Guidelines HERE.

🟠Photo Opportunities
This was written and published by Wes Ramey for the dollywood blog in 2023, but it looks as though it was removed perhaps. Anyhow, it's still great info in my opinion, for photo opps for your socials.
My family loves to take photos when we visit, and there’s a colorful photo op right when we enter the park called Harvest Sky. We can’t wait to stand beneath the thousands of vibrant, shimmering leaves swaying in the breeze along Showstreet. Then we’ll definitely have to stand in front of the colossal pumpkins—last year’s pumpkins ranged in weight from 800 to 1500 lbs. each and came from growers across the East Coast. We also love stopping by and seeing all the visiting artisans to see what amazing handmade wares they have brought with them, with many of them demonstrating their skills and techniques while creating one-of-a-kind treasures that we can purchase to take home with us to relive our time at Dollywood this fall whenever we want.
🟠Music
According to dollywood.com....
Music fills the fall air as dozens of talented artists perform daily across the streets and stages of Dollywood. Listen for bluegrass, country and southern gospel acts paired with the Smokies' spectacular fall foliage and crisp autumn breezes for an engaging and enchanting way to experience an authentic mountain fall. Don't miss a minute of the music—download the Dollywood app to see the latest showtimes.
Here are Some of the many names I see and recognize immediately:
- Suzy Bogguss
- TG Sheppard
- Cruz and Billy Conterras
- Gloryway
- Mandy Barnett
- The Young Fables
