Dollywood’s Harvest Festival: A Celebration of Music and More in Tennessee
Live Music and Rising Stars in Pigeon Forge
As autumn casts its colorful spell over Pigeon Forge, Tennessee, Dollywood’s Harvest Festival, presented by Humana, fills the Smoky Mountains with vibrant melodies and seasonal delights. Running through October 27, the festival highlights live performances by beloved artists, including East Tennessee’s own Emily Ann Roberts, from October 8-12.
Roberts, a rising star in the country music scene, has warmed up the stage for industry giants like Blake Shelton, Cody Johnson, and Megan Moroney this year. Her musical journey began in high school when she appeared on NBC’s The Voice, Season 9, representing Blake Shelton’s team. This exposure led to her debut gospel album, “Bigger Than Me,” in 2017. Roberts’ growing popularity is underscored by her album “Can’t Hide Country,” which has surpassed 23 million streams.
Emily Ann Roberts: From Local Roots to National Stage
Originally hailing from Knoxville, Tennessee, Roberts has deep connections to Dollywood. “Dollywood was one of the biggest highlights of my childhood,” she shared. “The rides, food, and shows always gave me a sense of home.” Growing up, her favorite ride at the park was Blazing Fury, which she fondly recalls riding multiple times in one visit.
A Diverse Lineup of Musical Talent
Apart from Roberts, Dollywood’s Harvest Festival features over 700 performances from a wide array of artists. Notable names include Sidewalk Prophets, Triumphant Quartet, Dailey & Vincent, Rhonda Vincent & The Rage, The Grascals, Keith Anderson, and The Original Coalminers featuring Emily Portman’s Always Loretta.
Bountiful Harvest-Themed Experiences
Dollywood offers more than just music during the festival. Guests can savor harvest-themed culinary delights and capture memorable moments with over 12,000 pumpkins on display throughout the park. As dusk falls, the park transforms with the award-winning Great Pumpkin LumiNights, where illuminated pumpkins create an enchanting evening atmosphere.
Visitors can experience the full charm of Dollywood’s Harvest Festival daily from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m., making it a must-visit destination this fall. For more updates and information, keep an eye on Emegypt.
