Kings Dominion is rolling out a brand-new fall celebration this month, with the Hops & Harvest Festival set to take over International Street starting Saturday. The amusement park is billing it as its newest seasonal event, running on select dates from Nov. 14 through Nov. 29.
According to kingsdominion.com, the park describes the festival as “Kings Dominion's newest seasonal celebration.” As reported by the Richmond Times-Dispatch, the festival will transform International Street into an autumn gathering featuring seasonal food, regional craft beverages, live entertainment and family-friendly activities.
Fall Flavors Across the Park
Per the Richmond Times-Dispatch's report, Hops & Harvest will offer fall-inspired menu items at several Kings Dominion dining locations. The newspaper's account lists specialty food offerings such as Korean raspberry barbecue sliders, brisket mac and cheese, sweet potato fries, butternut squash, prosciutto flatbread, hearty chili and pumpkin spice giant pretzels.
Sweets get their own spotlight too, with cinnamon apple funnel cakes and cinnamon sugar doughnut holes among the festival's offerings, the same report notes. Rotating local food trucks are also expected to set up near the Eiffel Tower during the celebration, per the outlet's account.
Craft Beverages and Live Entertainment
On the drinks side, the festival includes seasonal cocktails such as an apple butter old fashioned and a candied orange amaretto sour, according to the Richmond Times-Dispatch. The event also leans into its craft-beverage branding with beer flights featuring four pours from local makers, a detail that lines up with Kings Dominion's own description of the festival on its Six Flags park page, which invites visitors to “stroll through International Street while enjoying harvest-inspired bites, local craft beverages, live music and family-friendly activities.”
Live music and specialty entertainment are planned at the bandstand and biergarten, the Richmond paper reports, alongside interactive activities and games set up along International Street. The festival runs on select dates throughout November, giving visitors several weekends to catch the lineup before it wraps.
