In the fall at Dollywood, they’re offering Harvey’s Boo Bash starting at 9 p.m. for families to enjoy park exclusives. The park will stay open through midnight with activities and exclusive offering for visitors. This includes candy stations where the kids can gather as much candy as they can in a park provided bag.
