Spring is in full bloom in the Smokies, and you can celebrate the beauty under an Umbrella Sky with some delicious food during Dollywood’s Flower & Food Festival. The festival runs from April 18 to June 8, allowing plenty of time to try the various mouthwatering menu items.
With dozens of treats to choose from, the Tasting Pass offers five different festive foods for one special price.
Berry Delicious Desserts
The fresh taste of berries will be in abundance during our award-winning Flower & Food Festival.
The Blueberry Pie Milkshake is a perfect dessert to welcome warmer spring temperatures. Enjoy a creamy blueberry flavored milkshake topped off with blueberry pie pieces, fresh blueberries and whipped cream. This sweet treat can be picked up at Showstreet Ice Cream.
Funnel Cake is a staple at Dollywood, and the festive Wild Berry Cream Cheese Funnel Cake adds a new and “wild” twist by adding strawberries and blueberries, blackberry filling, whipped cream and cream cheese icing to the famous dessert. Crossroads Funnel Cake is the place to find this delicious treat to share with the whole crew.
Savory Sides
If you need a quick snack during your Dollywood adventure, there are plenty of savory sides to choose from.
The Smoky Mountain Grilled Corn is a tasty blend of savory and sweet that will make every taste bud happy. This sweet corn is grilled and topped with garlic butter, cilantro crema, queso fresco and toasted sesame seeds. You can find this culinary creation at Miss Lillian’s BBQ corner.
Wildwood Grove not only has fun rides, but it also has tasty food. Till & Harvest Food Hall is home of the Loaded Street Fries, which are chipotle-seasoned fries loaded with queso, black beans, corn, pico de gallo, cilantro and jalapeno.
Even More Options
The Pesto Caprese Panini is the perfect culinary combination for a spring day. At Seasonal Culinary Booth 1 located in Rivertown Junction, Cuban bread filled with beefsteak tomatoes, buffalo mozzarella and basil pesto, complemented with roasted vegetable-tomato gazpacho will leave you wanting more dishes like this to taste.
Inspired by Dollywood’s Dreamer-in-Chief, you can find the Salad of Many Colors on the menu at Front Porch Café. This healthy and refreshing lunch or dinner item features baby spinach, strawberries and blueberries, candied pecans, feta cheese and croutons, topped with a lemon balsamic vinaigrette.
These tasty options are available with the Tasting Pass along with dozens of other items – find all these food favorites at Dollywood.com.
