Dollywood Preview Photos Taken: 03/14/2025 Posted: 03/15/2025

In this photo update, we share photos from the grand opening event for the kickoff of Dollywood's 40th operating season. Dolly Parton herself was in attendance to provide passholders and media insight into what the park has been up to. This season the County Fair section of the fair was refreshed and the Imagination Playhouse was made a permanent fixture. As well the park has two larger construction projects nearing completion: a new 750 space parking lot and the Wilderness Pass restaurant. The park will again host 5 seasonal festivals wrapping up with its industry leading Smoky Mountain Christmas offering. The park teased a new addition for 2026 which will be something unique and found nowhere else in the world and will be one of the park's largest investments to date. Follow along as we take you around Dollywood.
