Dollywood’s annual Harvest Festival returns Sept. 23

Dollywood’s annual Harvest Festival returns this weekend, bringing hundreds of pumpkin displays, seasonal food, and around-the-clock performances to the park. Officials say this year’s festival happens from this Friday to October 29th and features a new addition called Hoot Owl Hollow.

The brand-new installation brings hundreds of carved white pumpkins to Craftsman’s Valley, including a massive 14-foot tall owl made from real pumpkins. A spread of fall food can be found at the festival, as well, including pumpkin chili and apple pie milkshakes.
