Insider Recommendations on What to Wear During Spring

Spring has sprung in East Tennessee and it’s starting to warm up—or is it? One day it’s wet, one day it’s 78 degrees. You just never know around here! Tennessee weather can vary so I wanted to share some tips on what to wear when visiting Dollywood during the spring months.

Here’s what my family wore when we visited earlier this spring:

Layers are your friend! Bring a light jacket, sweater or vest. It could be warm during the day but as soon as the sun starts to set it gets chilly. Did you know Dollywood spans more than 150 acres? So the more comfortable you are, the better!

A few things I would make sure to have on hand:

A light sweater or jacket
Comfortable walking shoes or sandals
Sunglasses
Sunscreen
A weather app
The Dollywood app

Dollywood has added great, new covered seating areas! This is perfect shelter for the occasional rain shower or strong sun that you might experience during your visit.

No matter the weather, get ready to have fun!
