\"bbq-cf-food1.ashx\"<\/a>Summer at Dollywood kicks off with its annual Barbeque & Bluegrass Festival, May 23 – June 7, 2015. This means tons of barbeque and dozens of the top names in multiple performances non-stop for over two weeks. All included in the price of admission to the legendary theme park in the Smoky Mountains of Tennessee.<\/p>\n

Nothing says American summer like barbeque, and nothing says Appalachia like bluegrass. And nothing says Party like the two of them together!<\/p>\n

Everything Dollywood does is a class act, and the music is no exception. Dolly Parton knows everybody in the business, and keeps a lively interest in up and coming talent. Dollywood is a great venue for performers, and the Dollywood talent spotters bring us some of the best music on the scene, from the famous to the rising stars.<\/p>\n

Musicians this year include Rhonda Vincent, the Gibson Brothers, Balsam Range, Breaking Glass, the Del McCoury Band, and 2 dozen additional bands. For a full list of performances and times see the schedule page.<\/p>\n

All these performers will appear on 4 different stages accommodating 50 shows day and night during this 16-day festival, featuring a total of 250 performances. And it’s all free with the admission ticket to the theme park.<\/p>\n

If you aren’t hungry when you show up at Dollywood during the Barbeque & Bluegrass Festival, you soon will be. More than 50,000 pounds of barbeque, together with a connoisseur’s variety of sauces from master chefs, will fill the air with aromas, mingling with the excitement of the music.<\/p>\n

For more information check the Dollywood Barbeque & Bluegrass Festival<\/a> page. Summer in the Smoky Mountains is beginning and at Dollywood you can hear it, smell it, taste it and dance to it!<\/p>\n

Stay at one of our cabin near Dollywood, and add our Dollywood vacation package<\/a>. You’ll get Dollywood tickets and skip the lines at the gate.<\/p>\n
