PIGEON FORGE, Tennessee – (June 18, 2026) – Harvey’s Boo Bash, Dollywood theme park’s very first separately-ticketed, after-hours special event, is set to carve out a new fall tradition, serving up a harvest of family-friendly fun and festivities after dark.
Harvey’s Boo Bash takes place on Oct. 16, 23 and 30 after Dollywood’s Harvest Festival presented by Humana closes to regular park guests at 9 p.m. The event takes place from 9 p.m. until midnight, providing guests the opportunity to enjoy Great Pumpkin LumiNights as well as several exclusive activities and offerings just for them. Among the fun are a number of candy collecting stations and access to many of Dollywood’s award-winning attractions, including the all-new NightFlight Expedition. Those who purchase tickets to Harvey’s Boo Bash can enter the park beginning at 6 p.m. on their selected date.
A limited number of tickets will be sold each evening, meaning those who attend have more opportunities to ride Dollywood’s available attractions and collect enough free candy to satisfy even the largest sweet tooth. In addition, guests will get to enjoy meet & greets with all of Dollywood’s favorite harvesttime characters, while two dance parties also take place during the evening, one at 9:30 p.m. to kick off all the festive fun, and another at 11 p.m. for a late-night celebration!
Special merchandise items to commemorate the event will be available for purchase along with unique culinary items that offer guests a chance to try new flavors only available at Harvey’s Boo Bash. Attendees also receive a complimentary candy bag, commemorative souvenir cup, free Coca-Cola fountain drinks (with use of cup), and a free themed snack. Allergen-friendly items also will be available at various locations in the park.
Guests will be able to wear costumes during Harvey’s Boo Bash, and costume guidelines are available at Dollywood.com/BooBash.
Tickets for the event are $129.99 + tax, and special ticket bundles—which provide a one-day Dollywood admission—also are available for guests who want to visit the park prior to 6 p.m. Season passholders and guests at Dollywood’s resort locations are eligible for a $5 discount.
Tickets and additional information also are available at Dollywood.com/BooBash.
