Dollywood BBQ and Bluegrass
If you love bluegrass music, then it doesn’t get much better than Dollywood in Pigeon Forge, TN during September! If you also love barbecue, then it definitely doesn’t get better than Dollywood’s BBQ & Bluegrass going on from September 5-28. The park will be filled with numerous bluegrass entertainers playing your favorite hits as well as some tunes you probably haven’t heard before! When you get hungry, you can chow down on some of the finest BBQ the Great Smoky Mountains has to offer. The BBQ action takes place at Market Square where visiting chefs will be cooking up some of the tastiest barbecue your mouth will ever taste. They’ll even be giving demonstrations on cooking BBQ so that you can be the king of the grill in your own neighborhood!
