The savory taste of summer may be coming to a close, but the Dollywood Culinary Team remains hard at work creating tasty fall menu items available during the theme park’s Harvest Festival presented by Humana (Sept. 9 - Oct. 28, 2024). As the air becomes cooler and the autumn hues start to show, nothing is better than experiencing the sweet and savory tastes of all things fall.
The Harvest Festival Tasting Pass is the perfect way for guests to experience the delicious pumpkin and fall-themed food during the fall festival at Dollywood. With the choice of five different festive foods, you’ll get to sample an array of options including main courses, beverages and of course, yummy desserts.
For the Pumpkin Lovers
With pumpkin being a fan-favorite fall flavor, Dollywood offers a large variety to satisfy your tastebuds.
The Main Course: The Pumpkin-Spiced Smoked Ribs can be found at Miss Lillian’s BBQ Corner and are deliciously smoked St. Louis style for hours and then infused with Dollywood's house-made pumpkin spice seasoning.
The Beverage: The Pumpkin Pie Punch is pumpkin pie in a cup! At Seasonal Culinary Booth 1, you will enjoy the taste of cold apple cider combined with pumpkin puree, cream soda, and pumpkin pie spice.
The Sweets: The Pumpkin Sugar Cookie, Pumpkin Whoopie Pie and the Pumpkin-Spiced Milkshake are all great dessert options to satisfy your pumpkin-loving sweet tooth. The sugar cookie and whoopie pie are classic fall favorites that can be found at the Spotlight Bakery, while the refreshing milkshake can be found at Showstreet Ice Cream.
Non-Pumpkin Treats
If you’re one of the non-pumpkin lovers out there, fear not - because Dollywood offers many non-pumpkin options that are sure to hit the spot.
The Main Course: The Maple Pork Belly Sweet Potato Skillet is sure to warm your stomach and your heart. Make your way to Seasonal Culinary Booth 4, where the roasted sweet potato and apples topped with pork belly will leave you wanting more.
The Beverages: If you’re still craving the feel of summer combined with the taste of fall, look no further than the Harvest Apple Lemonade found at the Market Square BIG SKILLET.
The Sweets: Autumn Marshmallow Treats and Carrot Cake Cupcakes are waiting for you at the Spotlight Bakery, while the Caramel Apple Funnel Cake awaits you at Crossroads Funnel Cake & Splinter’s. These are just three of many sweets to be offered at the Harvest Festival.
Even More Options
One of the great things about the Harvest Festival is just how many options there are. If you haven’t satisfied your cravings with the delicious foods mentioned above, try some of these tasty items.
How to Get Your Tasting Pass
Choosing just one fall food item would be an impossible task, so make sure you get your Harvest Festival Tasting Pass! The pass is $39.99 per person (plus tax) and $36.99 per person (plus tax) for Gold and Diamond Season Pass Holders.
Purchasing your Tasting Pass is easy as pie and can be done in two different ways. The first way is to purchase online at Dollywood.com at least 24 hours before your visit; then redeem your Tasting Pass voucher upon your arrival to the park. They also can be purchased on-site at the Front Gate or at one of the Festival Culinary locations.
Take advantage of all this festive fall food while it’s here and enjoy everything the Harvest Festival has to offer!
