Are you ready for an unforgettable summer experience? Look no further than Dollywood's Smoky Mountain Summer Celebration, featuring the amazing Sweet Summer Nights drone and fireworks show.

This year's performance promises to be bigger, brighter, and more beautiful than ever, featuring larger drones and new illuminated scenes. Starting at 9:40 pm each night (weather permitting), hundreds of drones will light up the sky above Wildwood Grove with a symphony of light and 3D animations, telling a unique Dollywood story. It's an experience that the whole family will cherish.

Of course, the Sweet Summer Nights show isn't the only highlight of Dollywood's Smoky Mountain Summer Celebration. Guests can also enjoy the return of the popular Gazillion Bubble Show Aurora at the Celebrity Theater, where they will be surrounded by "gazillions" of bubbles for a fun and unpredictable experience.

Additionally, there are a variety of other shows and entertainment options, including Good Vibes at the Back Porch Theater, Forever Country at The Valley Theater, and Imagination Playhouse. And don't miss out on the Tennessee Air National Guard's Band of the South, performing at DP's Celebrity Theater and Showstreet Palace Theater, which inspires patriotism and appreciation for the Air Force's rich history and legacy.

With so much to see and do, Dollywood's Smoky Mountain Summer Celebration is the perfect destination for a family vacation. And the Sweet Summer Nights drone and fireworks show is the perfect way to end a fun-filled day. Don't miss out on this unforgettable summer experience!
