June 14 - Aug. 3, 2025
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, foam and more. Float over to the fan-favorite Gazillion Bubble Show, 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.
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. All Summer long, vibrant live music and energetic performances will delight and enchant. Splash over to catch Hydro Jive Junction, a lively singing troupe that transforms a spontaneous fire hydrant deluge into fun-filled performances. Look out for Liquid Beats, a group of musical landscapers who turn ordinary trashcans into musical moments.
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.
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!
