Dollywood has something new for Halloween

It’s officially fall and Halloween is around the corner! You know what that means, right?  It’s the return of Dollywood’s Harvest Festival. This year, a new exhibit will be a part of the  award-winning Halloween display at Dollywood!

Hoot Owl Hollow will feature thousands of pumpkins that celebrate the animal that goes hoot in the night!

It isn’t the only attraction of the Fall Festival. As the sun sets, you can walk through immersive harvest-themed displays of intricately-carved pumpkins in Dollywood’s Timber Canyon, Wildwood Grove, Wilderness Pass and Craftsman’s Valley areas.

Dollywood will have the Fall Festival event from Sept. 23 to Oct. 29 and stay open until 9:00 p.m. each night.  This gives you time to spot more than 13,000 carved pumpkins throughout the park. The park is closed on Tuesdays throughout the festival.

The new exhibit will be open to the public on Friday, but season pass holders can enjoy the lights on Thursday.
