Extra Dollywood Sevier County Days Planned to Aid Food Ministries

In an effort to give Sevier County Food Ministries a little more help this winter, another Dollywood Sevier County Days special has been announced.

Sevier County residents and workers may celebrate the season and view millions of Christmas lights at Dollywood’s Smoky Mountain Christmas for only a $5 donation during Dollywood Sevier County Days running Monday, Dec. 31, 2018 – Saturday, Jan. 5, 2019.

A $5 donation per person will benefit Sevier County Food Ministries, a voluntary interfaith ministry that provides essential food assistance to local families.

On Dec. 17, Dollywood officials presented a check for more than $35,000 raised from the Sevier County Days held in November.

Dollywood’s upgrades for the 2018 season:

Smoky Mountain Christmas runs through Jan. 5, 2019.
