Dollywood’s Flower & Food Festival presented by Covenant Health will soon blossom.

The event will take place between 21 April and 11 June with one million blooms taking up residence at Dollywood. 

The fresh smells and scents are the fruit of the events’ fourth season. “Elaborate floral installations emerge around every corner, translating nature into living art, each coming together to create an unbelievable presentation of colour and wonder,” is how Dollywood describe the blooming experience.

“This time of year, always puts a little ‘spring’ in my step,” Dolly Parton said with a laugh.

“Seriously though, there really is nothing like springtime in the Smokies. It is truly amazing to see all of God’s creation blooming to life all around us in these mountains. Our people put a lot of hard work into making sure all of the flowers inside Dollywood stay as beautiful as the ones He has put everywhere for us to enjoy. I hope everyone will come to experience this special time in the Smoky Mountains.”

As well as the colour extravaganza, guests also can explore a menu crafted with “inspiration from fresh spring flavours and Smoky Mountain flair.” Returning for this year is the tasting pass, which allows guests to partake in multiple food items at different festival locations.
