What a fantastic month April is going to be for the Smokies!

Dollywood is back open and returning to perennial demand - The Festival of Nations! This year the showcase event is "Spirit of the Dance" a very popular Irish Dance show that's been played in huge cities like Las Vegas, New York and London at the Celebrity Theater. We also have favorites like Atahaulpa and the Zambia Vocal Group returning as well. China, Russia, India, Ecuador and more countries also contribute to the Festival. Almost every corner of the world gathers here in Pigeon Forge and stays for a near-constant celebration until April 30th.

Then there's the new Wild Eagle rollercoaster ride that's open and dazzling riders by soaring them through the air over the mountains. It's one of the most hotly anticipated rides in the last few years at Dollywood and it seems to live up to its hype! Don't miss an opportunity to check it out this Spring!
