“Turn sun-kissed days into starry nights at Dollywood Parks and Resorts, your home for summer memories. At the Smoky Mountain Summer Celebration presented by Food City, days stretch longer, with refreshing adventures around every corner. Discover Summer’s vibrant hues throughout the park, stretching high as the Kite Sky and wrapping through the trees. Splash and play with sprinklers, interactive fountains, and more. Float over to the fan-favorite Gazillion Bubble Show – Evolution, where family fun pops. Let your adrenaline reach new heights on the award-winning Big Bear Mountain, or dance and groove through Wildwood Grove at a special nighttime dance party. Each night is sealed with a dazzling fireworks and drone show, sparkling against a backdrop of Smoky Mountain stars.

Gazillions of Bubbles and Magical Memories
Watch as millions, billions, gazillions of bubbles envelop the entire theater in a one-of-a-kind show that kids (and parents) of all ages will love. See amazing dog tricks, big air stunts, and comedy antics from The Perondi’s Stunt Dog Experience. All Summer long, enjoy vibrant live music and energetic performances that will delight and enchant like Play On and Good Vibes!

Dazzling Drone and Fireworks Show, Plus Dance Party
Awe, amazement and Summer wow’s await in Wildwood Grove during the Smoky Mountain Summer Celebration. As the sun sets, the enchanting area of the park comes to life with a lively dance party, stretching the magic of a Summer day even longer. As the stars begin twinkling, Dollywood’s family favorite drone and fireworks show will dance across the night sky, ending the night with breathtaking wonder as we celebrate America’s 250th Birthday.

Can’t-Miss Colorful Moments
Summer days are brighter at Dollywood, where an explosion of brilliant color has spread across the park! Count the colors of the rainbow on technicolor trees. Look up to see a seemingly endless blanket of radiant kites gently blowing in the wind, providing the perfect amount of shade on a Smoky Mountain Summer day. Snap a selfie with a larger than life picnic basket. Colorful, vibrant memories are just a Summer day away!”
