Great Pumpkin LumiNights

During The Great Pumpkin LumiNights, Dollywood comes alive with thousands of glowing pumpkins. The park lights up with the beautiful pumpkin creations and festive decorations. There are lit up carved pumpkins that are themed to match the different areas of the park. Some of the pumpkins are carved with mountain animals like bears, owls, squirrels, river otters, frogs, and of course Dolly’s favorite butterflies. Even some of the rides and roller coasters are festively decorated.

LuminNights is a special part of Dollywood’s Harvest Festival. If you are visiting Dollywood during the fall festival, make sure to stay past sunset to enjoy both the rides and the glow from the thousands of carved pumpkins throughout the park!
