PIGEON FORGE, Tenn. — Dollywood’s Flower & Food Festival will be held at Pigeon Forge from April 23 through June 7 with more than half a million blooming flowers.
Officials said the festival will have expansive displays, known as "Mosaicultures" which include a vivid butterfly umbrella, various scenes featuring animals, and a depiction of Dolly’s mother quilting the Coat of Many Colors.
“So, the Smokies really were the inspiration for this festival," Dolly Parton said. And I just love we made that big, beautiful display of my mama with all those wonderful flowers. It’s special to me, and I know she would have been so proud of it."
