Dollywood’s annual Flower & Food Festival kicks off today, bringing a dazzling array of blooms and flower sculptures to the park. Over 500,000 flowers make up the annual event, with a special show, called Bloom!, also on the way this year.
Once again, the festival will feature the park’s trademark Umbrella Sky, a walkway covered by a floating umbrella tapestry that provides one of the park’s best photo ops.
Last year, the Flower & Food Festival featured a sculpture that was particularly special to the park’s namesake, Dolly Parton: It paid tribute to her 1971 song “Coat of Many Colors,” and her late mother, Avie Lee.
The Flower & Food Festival will last through June 5. You can pick up your tickets now, and sample a wide array of foods while you’re there with a Festival Tasting Pass.
