Dollywood Christmas Festival Introduces Largest Christmas Expansion — Glacier Ridge
At this year’s Smoky Mountain Christmas, you can experience Dollywood’s largest Christmas expansion ever! During the holiday season, the park will come alive with millions of twinkling lights. With the addition of Glacier Ridge, your Christmas experience will be bigger and better than ever! We’ve got all the details on Glacier Ridge and what’s new at the Dollywood Christmas festival.
About Glacier Ridge
Glacier Ridge is a magical winter wonderland lit up by more than 1 million sparkling lights. You’ll have the opportunity to see a 50-foot Christmas tree, a recreation of the northern lights, and more! Glacier Ridge is unlike anything you’ve ever seen before and is located in Timber Canyon, Wilderness Pass, and the upper portion of Craftsman’s Valley. Every 30 minutes, the Plaza comes to life to present a light show complete with holiday hits you can’t help but sing along to. If you enter from Timber Canyon, you’ll walk through the Arctic Passage, a 130-foot-long tunnel that transports you into Glacier Ridge in a stunning array of light and color. You can also enter from Craftsman’s Valley, where you’ll experience a canopy of lights in a one-of-a-kind display. This unique walk-through brings the aurora borealis to Dollywood.
