Pumpkin sculptures, southern gospel, and Appalachian craftsmanship fill the park with fall spirit through October 28.
Autumn has arrived in East Tennessee, and with it comes one of Dollywood’s most beloved traditions — the Harvest Festival. Now through October 28, the park glows nightly with Great Pumpkin LumiNights, featuring thousands of hand-carved pumpkins and stunning light installations.
Visitors will find more than dazzling displays: southern gospel performances, artisan craft booths, and seasonal treats like pumpkin funnel cakes and hot apple cider fill every corner of the park.
The festival’s blend of artistry and authenticity reflects Dollywood’s mission to celebrate Appalachian culture. “It’s about showcasing the heart of the Smokies — our people, our stories, our light,” said a park representative.
Whether you’re chasing the perfect fall photo or just looking to enjoy music and mountain air, Dollywood’s Harvest Festival remains a hallmark of the season.
