PIGEON FORGE, Tenn. (January 2015)—Guests can experience a rocking worship time Dollywood-style as the park plans to Rock the Smokies (Saturday, Sept. 5, 2015) during the theme park’s newest event, a Christian music festival featuring Third Day and For King & Country. Additional artists will be announced at a later date.
Dollywood is partnering with Premier Festivals to produce a powerful Christian rock experience in D.P.’s Celebrity Theater. The daylong celebration provides time for both thrill rides and a Christian festival for one great price.
Organizers anticipate Rock the Smokies will be an energizing event for festivalgoers, student ministries and families to spiritually reconnect and recharge as the summer comes to a close. For a complete lineup of festival performances, announcement of artists and show times, please visit rockthesmokies.com.
Admission to Dollywood, along with a reserved seating festival ticket, is included with purchase of a Rock the Smokies ticket. Additional Christian artists will perform to the general public throughout the park. Discount prices are available for groups and those who purchase tickets early. VIP packages will be available for purchase and will include meet-and-greet opportunities. Tickets for Rock the Smokies go on sale in February.
