Dollywood reopens for a very special 40^th Anniversary Season starting off with the I Will Always Love You Music Festival (March 15 – April 13), a celebration of songwriting that will fill Dollywood’s mountain-nestled streets with a dynamic blend of music. From award-winning performances to tasty treats to dazzling displays, everyone in your family will find musical experiences that will live on as memories from the perfect spring Dollywood day.

Entertainment is endless at Dollywood this spring with multiple shows to choose from. Catch “Trio, Again featuring Three Times a Lady” for a mesmerizing vocal blend of songs inspired by classic songbirds Dolly Parton, Linda Ronstadt and Emmylou Harris. Join other Dolly enthusiasts (and who isn’t?!) at the “Sing-A-Long with Dolly” show that is sure to put a smile on every face. Wander back through the years of Dolly’s musical journey in the award-winning show “From the Heart – The Life and Music of Dolly,” immerse yourself in the multi-sensory film experience with a remastered version of “Heartsong The Movie” or watch as Dolly’s niece Heidi takes center stage in “Heidi Parton’s Kin & Friends” to perform hits across all genres. Check out Dollywood.com for even more shows and entertainment options.

To accompany Dollywood’s wide array of shows is an even wider variety of tasty food. There are so many delicious options to choose from this spring, including the Pink Donut Ice Cream Sandwich for those wanting a sweet treat. The Turkey Sweet Potato Bowl and Sausage & Cabbage Skillet are two more delicious tastes that make for a hearty way to fuel your adventures, and the Vegetable Cobb Salad makes for a refreshing bite of springtime goodness. With so many options, the Festival Tasting Pass is a perfect way to try a combination of five yummy items including the sweet and savory tastes we’ve listed!

Celebration Sky offers a pink and perfect background for the perfect picture of your perfect Dollywood day. The pink decorations paired with the life-size installation of the word LOVE capture the spirit of our Dreamer-in-Chief and make Instagram photos to treasure. Make sure to grab your friends and family to snap pictures that will last a lifetime.

We are so excited to welcome you and everyone you love to help us welcome spring with and celebrate this special 40^th anniversary at Dollywood.
