Dollywood Flower and Food Festival Opens April 18 With New Attractions

ATLANTA, Ga. — The sixth annual Flower and Food Festival at Dollywood launches on April 18 and runs through June 8, showcasing stunning floral displays and culinary delights. With over one million vibrant blooms and large mosaicultures created by Mosaicultures International, the festival promises a visual feast for visitors.

During the festival, guests can enjoy a rich array of food options, including festival-exclusive dishes like a Salad of Many Colors, loaded street fries, Smoky Mountain grilled corn, and a unique blueberry pie milkshake. Visitors can enhance their experience by purchasing a tasting pass to sample these new flavors.

Dolly Parton, the park’s co-founder, expressed her excitement, stating, “If there’s one thing I know about the Smokies, it’s that God does some of his best handiwork this time of year. It’s like the mountains come back to life in the spring with all of His beautiful creations blooming around us.”

In addition to the vibrant flowers and culinary offerings, the festival also features two new shows. “Imagination Playhouse” is based on stories from Dolly’s Imagination Library, while “Play On” celebrates the park’s 40-year history with a retrospective of popular songs and shows.

This year’s Flower and Food Festival aims to energize Dollywood’s atmosphere and offer families a memorable experience filled with art, music, and flavorful food. Each year, the festival attracts thousands of visitors eager to witness the enchanting transformations of the park.
