Dollywood’s Harvest Festival artist spotlight: Emily Ann Roberts

PIGEON FORGE, Tenn. — Vibrant fall colors blanket the Smoky Mountains as Dollywood’s Harvest Festival presented by Humana (now-Oct. 31) welcomes another season of fall fun and music. Knoxville native Emily Ann Roberts returns to Dollywood Oct. 14-18, bringing her unmistakable country sound back to East Tennessee where her musical journey began. 

Roberts first gained national recognition while competing on Season 9 of NBC’s The Voice as a member of Blake Shelton’s team. Since then, she has continued building her career with tours alongside artists including Blake Shelton and Clint Black while making numerous appearances on the Grand Ole Opry. 

Known for her heartfelt songwriting, tuneful twang and energetic performances, Roberts continues to connect with audiences across the country while remaining proud of her East Tennessee roots. Her return to Dollywood gives guests the opportunity to enjoy a hometown artist whose career continues to grow on the national stage. 

Roberts is among the many artists performing at Dollywood’s Harvest Festival, which delights guests with more than 700 individual performances during the run of the festival.

Dollywood’s Harvest Festival offers more than just live music. During the day, guests can enjoy harvest-themed culinary creations and picture-perfect photo ops with more than 12,000 pumpkins throughout the park. By night, the pumpkins come to life, thanks to the park’s award-winning Great Pumpkin LumiNights, and a brand-new Harvest Dance Party each evening in the Wildwood Grove area already has become a Dollywood guest favorite. Dollywood is open daily from 10 a.m. – 9 p.m. during the Harvest Festival, with extended hours of 9 a.m. – 10 p.m. October 3-15.
