“During this brand-new event, guests can explore larger-than-life plant sculptures covered in half a million flower blooms. These displays can reach heights up to 14 feet, and floral carpet beds will envelope walkways, decorate buildings, and fill flowerbeds throughout the park.

During the festival, the park will stay open until 9:30 p.m. each evening. In addition, the nights will come to a close with a fireworks show.

Special Instagram-worthy photo-ops will be set up throughout the park as well, including the Umbrella Sky, a display of more than 600 umbrellas dancing above guests’ heads.

In addition to the blooms, Dollywood’s team of culinary experts have created a new menu of garden-fresh dishes, including:

* Grilled Citrus Shrimp Over Delta Peas and Rice
* Gyros
* Greek Orzo Pasta
* Grilled Chili Lime Skirt Steak
* Chicken Stir Fry
* Zucchini Fritters
* Lobster Rolls
* Charcuterie in a Cone
* Pork Sliders with Pineapple Chutney”
