Dollywood is known for a lot of seasonal events and spring is always the time for the Festival of Nations, when acts from around the world are brought in to entertain guests. There is plenty of different foods from other countries and a variety of music. There's generally always a Celtic/Irish group of some kind. This year the Invaders Steel Orchestra was back and there were new acts from Spain, Russia, Ecuador, Switzerland, Mongolia, and South Africa. Previous years have seen acts from Argentina, France, Romania, Africa, and Canada. There isn't just music, but many of the acts are dance or other performance types. The Flamenco Kings from Spain were a new act this year that involved a lot of high intensity dance. There was also a stunning dance group from Siberia. For kids who generally aren't interested in the musical performances at Dollywood (and there aren't always a lot of musical performances I like at Dollywood on the regular), the Festival of Nations has such a wide variety of high interest performances you might just have children skipping some of the rides to watch some of them.
