Dollywood fans rejoice! Dolly Parton’s Dollywood will reopen in the spring for their 2021 season on Saturday, March 13.
Capacity will remain limited as it was in 2020.
Reservations are recommended for all season passholders who wish to guarantee their spot on a specific day. You can make a reservation up to 45 days before your visit on the Dollywood website.
You may also add a Bring a Friend (BAF) ticket to your reservation if you have them.
Weekend reservations are strongly recommended as early in advance as possible as those dates tend to fill up very quickly.
To make a reservation as a non-season passholder, simply purchase a dated ticket.
If you wish to visit without a reservation, Dollywood suggests arriving after 5 pm as the park is typically less crowded in the evenings.

Will there be a Festival of Nations celebration at Dollywood in 2021?
There are no current plans to feature the annual Festival of Nations celebration in 2021, likely due to various travel restrictions.
However if those plans change, we will update this article accordingly. The current scheduled festivals for 2021 are as follows:
Flower and Food Festival (presented by Covenant Health)
The Flower and Food Festival debuts on April 23 and will run through mid-June.
At the Flower and Food Festival, guests are invited to wander through larger-than-life plant sculptures covered with half a million beautiful blooms, grab a selfie under the picturesque Umbrella Sky and indulge in garden-fresh flavors and seasonal culinary treats handcrafted by Dollywood chefs.
Summer Celebration
Exact dates have not yet been announced for the Dollywood Summer Celebration. However, the celebration is expected to directly follow the Flower and Food Festival and run through early fall.
The Summer Celebration typically features seasonal entertainment, extended park hours and fireworks on select nights.
Harvest Festival (presented by Humana)
The award-winning Dollywood Harvest Festival and LumiNights event usually runs from late September through late October.
The event features seasonal displays, seasonal food and thousands of illuminated pumpkins by night.
As fall approaches, LumiNight-exclusive discounted tickets are usually made available for guests who only wish to attend the LumiNights event at sunset.
Smoky Mountain Christmas
And finally, the highly anticipated award-winning Dollywood Smoky Mountain Christmas event is also set to return for 2021.
This event usually runs from early November through early January. Exact dates as of the time of this writing have yet to be announced.
This event features millions of lights and displays and requires months of preparation.
