Dolly Homecoming Parade
One of the biggest reasons to come to the Smokies in early May is the Dolly Homecoming Parade on May 1st in downtown Pigeon Forge. From Stoplights #3 to #6, dozens and dozens of awesome floats will parade down the main parkway of the city, ending with Dolly herself as the Grand Marshal of the event. http://www.mypigeonforge.com/events/dolly-parade/

Dollywood Barbeque & Bluegrass
The second festival for the Spring season at Dollywood is returning on May 23rd and is going on until June 7th for 2015.

Festival Of The Nations 2015


If this doesn't inspire a plan to visit the Smokies soon, nothing will.

Dollywood has re-opened over the weekend for the 2015 season with perennial favorite "Festival Of The Nations". This year the headlining act is "Rhythm of the Dance", at the main theater on park, while many newer performers like "Timber!" and the "Alash Ensemble" play at venues throughout alongside returning favorites like Zebra Stelzentheater and Atahualpa coming back again.

This year also marks the 30th anniversary of Dollywood here in the Smokies and many new changes are expected this year, from the opening of their new multi-million dollar "DreamMore" resort and new parking to new guest amenities, new stages and much more you can see at http://www.dollywood.com/LPg/NewIn2015.aspx

So how can you top enjoying a weekend at Dollywood during Festival of the Nations? By making it a vacation package with Deer Ridge.
