It might not be summer quite yet — the season officially starts next Tuesday, June 21 — but it’ll sure feel like summer at Dolly Parton’s Dollywood theme park this weekend with the launch of the Smoky Mountain Summer Celebration.
That means the return of the Sweet Summer Nights drone and fireworks show as well as the Gazillion Bubble Show Aurora, which will take place in the park’s Celebrity Theater.
As the summer fun heats up, park-goers can cool off with Dollywood’s newly-renovated Splash Country Water Park, which opened last month. Little Creek Falls, the pool area geared toward the youngest visitors, has been reimagined as a splash pad where babies and toddlers can play.
It’ll feature new pop jets, flowers and other colorful attractions; plus the butterfly shade structures are getting a colorful makeover, and some will be used to shade the play area.
To plan your Dollywood vacation, head over to the park’s website for ticketing and details about places to stay, different park attractions and much more.
