Dollywood’s Summer Celebration
From June 25 until the end of July, Dollywood hosts a spectacular summer celebration, one of the more popular summer events in Pigeon Forge. Even if amusement rides aren’t for you, you’re sure to find something exciting at this festival. Sit back and watch a show, splash around at the water park or grab a bite to eat. This park is open later during its summer celebration so that you can enjoy more, longer. This year, there’s a brand-new attraction that is a must see – the ariel summer show. First, dance your heart out at the 30-minute end of the night party featuring a DJ, then turn to the sky to close out the evening in wonder. Watch as hundreds of lit drones fly through the sky to create animated images.
