America’s Best Fall Event

Harvest Festival

Presented By Humana

Sept. 12 – Oct. 27, 2025

Fall glows brightest at Dollywood during the Harvest Festival presented by Humana, where crisp autumn days burst with vivid color, and magical nights shimmer with illuminating surprises. By day, soak in the sounds of the season with dozens of Southern gospel, country, and bluegrass performers while the air fills with the scent of fall treats and the thrill of rides like Big Bear Mountain. At night, wander through the enchanting Hoot Owl Hollow, listen for the mystical melody of Dolly’s glowing giant guitar, and marvel at the towering 40-foot pumpkin tree exclusively during Great Pumpkin LumiNights.
