Dollywood’s Harvest Festival in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee
September 9 through October 28

As the leaves change to their autumnal glory in the Great Smoky Mountains, Dollywood transforms its theme park into a celebration of fall during its Harvest Festival, presented by Humana. At this time of year, Dollywood features colossal pumpkins that weigh 800 to 1,500 pounds; Dolly Parton-inspired sights like a larger-than-life guitar (made of pumpkins!) that plays “Tennessee Mountain Home” and a tree where Dolly’s voice narrates the changing of the seasons in the Smokies; live musical performances including Southern gospel, bluegrass and country tunes; more than 50 world-class rides and attractions; and delicious fall-themed treats featuring pumpkin and apple flavors. At night the park transforms into “Great Pumpkin LumiNights,” presented by Covenant Health, and guests can view more than 12,000 illuminated pumpkins that have been carved into whimsical creatures.

International Festival in Bowling Green, Kentucky
September 28

Bowling Green is Kentucky’s third-largest city, and it’s considered a diversity epicenter in large part because it’s home to the state’s refugee resettlement center. Because of this, a wide range of cultures is represented in the city, especially within the small business community. Those cultures come together every fall for the International Festival, a cultural extravaganza that draws attendees from near and far. Festival-goers wander through bustling streets adorned with colorful flags and vibrant stalls offering authentic dishes from all around the world. More than 40 food vendors specializing in international cuisine serve their specialties, presenting international menus that incorporate locally-sourced ingredients. Attendees can grab a bite to eat while enjoying dynamic performances showcasing music, dance, and artistic expressions from a variety of cultures.

40^th Annual Frank Brown International Songwriters’ Festival on Alabama’s Beaches
November 7 through 17

The Frank Brown International Songwriters’ Festival brings together nearly 200 of the unsung heroes of the music business from all over the world for a 10-day festival. Celebrating its 40^th anniversary this year, the event takes place at venues along the Alabama–Florida state line. Attendees can enjoy close-up and personal concert experiences (most of which are free!) while learning the stories behind many award-winning songs. The festival is named for Frank Brown, the former night watchman at the famed Flora-Bama Lounge and Oyster Bar, a great American roadhouse that straddles the state line. Songwriters play at the Flora-Bama, where it all began, and in approximately two dozen other locations across the beach communities of Gulf Shores and Orange Beach, Alabama, and Perdido Key and Pensacola, Florida.

Big Boy’s Main Street Cook Off and Thibodeauxville Fall Festival in Louisiana’s Cajun Bayou
November 8 and 9

Two of the biggest fall events in Louisiana’s Cajun Bayou occur on the same weekend, which means that visitors get double the fall, double the fun, and double the food! Indulge in mouthwatering Cajun cuisine prepared by more than two dozen chef-led teams that work to showcase the area’s culinary heritage at Big Boy’s Main Street Cook Off. From savory gumbo (“sweater weather” in other parts of the country constitutes “gumbo weather” here on the bayou) to tasty jambalaya, there’s an array of vibrant tastes. Just as stomachs start to growl again, a new day brings the Thibodeauxville Fall Festival. People come to this free and award-winning event to enjoy Cajun food, art vendors, a car show and … ducks? Yep … the festival is best known for its rubber ducky race!

The upcoming complex in Seville will feature a crystalline lagoon designed for swimming and water sports, accessible to all through ticketed entry. The development will also include residential units, a hotel, stores, restaurants, and a range of commercial and entertainment facilities, delivering the quintessential PAL® experience.

Crystal Lagoons’ expansion in Europe is notable, with its presence in Spain, Italy, France, the Czech Republic, Poland, Romania, and Hungary, and ongoing projects in Murcia and the Costa del Sol. The Seville development is part of a series of European projects in collaboration with the award-winning Romanian firm Forty Management, including the recently successful Lagoon Park Bucharest.

“Seville boasts one of the best climates in Europe, allowing for year-round enjoyment of this PAL® project. It will enhance the city’s status as a top tourist destination and set a new standard of entertainment for millions of residents and visitors alike,” said Jean Pierre Juanchich, Global Business Director of Crystal Lagoons.

PAL® projects are recognized for their environmental benefits, potentially reducing the equivalent of 40% of the carbon footprint in the tourism and transportation sectors by offering beach experiences with turquoise waters and white sands close to home, thereby minimizing long-distance travel.

About Crystal Lagoons

Crystal Lagoons is a U.S.-based multinational that has pioneered technology enabling the construction and maintenance of crystalline lagoons of unlimited size at low cost. With over 1,000 projects worldwide and more than 2,900 patents across 180 countries, the company’s sustainable amenities use up to 100 times fewer chemicals and just 2% of the energy required by conventional pools. Bureau Veritas has verified that a 1-hectare (2.5-acre) lagoon uses 33 times less water than a golf course and 40% less water than a park of the same size. Crystal Lagoons® amenities can utilize sea, fresh, and brackish water, making efficient use of abundant resources.

The centerpiece of the new development is a large crystalline lagoon, suitable for swimming and water sports, accessible to all through ticketed entry. The lagoon is surrounded by 11,000 m² of white sandy beaches, restaurants, beach bars, terraces, sports and events areas, exhibition halls, green areas, and bespoke services that will complement the lagoon, epitomizing the quintessential PAL® experience.

The complex forms part of the Central District Lagoon City megaproject , which also features a 5-star Radisson hotel with 323 rooms and 400 luxury apartments for rent, 8,200 m² of class A office space, retail areas, restaurants, cinemas, a sky bar and spa.

The project is being developed in partnership with Forty Management, a renowned and award-winning Romanian firm with which the multinational innovation company has already built projects in Italy, France, Spain, the Czech Republic, Poland and Hungary.

With this new complex, Crystal Lagoons is bringing idyllic beach life to an iconic Mediterranean European city. Through the PAL® model, the company will revolutionize the experience quality of life of the people of Bucharest, providing an attractive entertainment experience to the area, and transforming it into a successful leisure destination.

“Throughout the world, and particularly in Europe, PAL® projects are known for their appealing and disruptive innovative urban approach, bringing a piece of the ocean to cities, a phenomenon similar to what happened 200 years ago in England, when the first urban parks were created in London, bringing a forest experience to the city,” said Jean Pierre Juanchich, Global Business Director of Crystal Lagoons.

The environmental impact of Crystal Lagoons® technology was a core element of the multiple projects developed in partnership with Forty Management, which valued the 40% reduction in carbon footprint that PAL® projects offer, which reduced the number of trips made to coastal destinations by around 50%, as people can enjoy beach life closer to home.

Crystal Lagoons currently has more than 1,000 projects ongoing at different stages of development and negotiations in 60 countries.

Léal Hospitality has established Morgan Hill as a bourgeoning food and wine scene for Northern California, with epicurean-focused locations like MOHI Farm, Léal Vineyards, and MOHI Ranch, among others. Appellation’s foray into the community takes the Morgan Hill guest experience to another level. The 76-key, five-story Hotel MOHI by Appellation will offer unmatched accommodations for exploration and discovery of this vibrant town. As one of the pioneers behind the transformation of the Sonoma County Wine Region, Charlie Palmer now has his sights set on putting Morgan Hill on the map in a similar fashion.

“Our vision for Appellation is to uncover lesser-known culinary destinations by opening hotels in locales like Morgan Hill,” notes Appellation co-founder and Chief Executive Officer Charlie Palmer. “Appellation hotels are meant to express the essence of the place with a sense of ‘here.’ Like the rest of our portfolio, we will be truly embedding food and beverage into every aspect of Hotel MOHI by Appellation, from design to programming.”

Hotel MOHI by Appellation will be thoughtfully designed as the ultimate urban retreat for exploring Morgan Hills’ walkable downtown area – whose lively restaurant scene, boutique shops, cozy cafes and historic buildings are complemented by surrounding Santa Clara County vineyards. Intentionally positioned at 4.5 stars with approachable luxury in mind, the hotel will feature world-class service with a suite of modern amenities and experiences, while also intimately immersing guests in the local community.

At the heart of the hotel will be a 215-seat signature Charlie Palmer restaurant and bar, sourcing from on-site gardens, Léal Hospitality’s estates and other local purveyors. The hotel plans to produce key ingredients from scratch, including roasting small-batch coffee and making olive oil with olive trees grown on the premises.

“Frank Léal is a beloved pillar of the community. Leveraging his long-time commitment to Morgan Hill and to farm fresh, locally sourced dining will be key to the success of Hotel MOHI by Appellation,” says Appellation co-founder and Chief Operating Officer Christopher Hunsberger. “His establishments have long drawn in crowds from the greater Silicon Valley area, and we are excited to start bringing wider, much-deserved attention to the region with Hotel MOHI by Appellation.”

Additional hotel amenities will include a serene terrace pool and deck with lush greenery complete with a tucked-away pocket bar, a marketplace and flower shop lounge, and a café and bakery that transitions into a cocktail and wine bar come evening. The state-of-the-art, wine-country-inspired spa and fitness club will boast five treatment rooms offering olive scrub treatments, salt cleansing massages and a sauna room.

Hotel MOHI by Appellation’s 7,730 square-feet ballroom will have the capacity to host up to 500 people, representing the single largest indoor event space in Morgan Hill. The ballroom will also provide a modern organic design flex space that can open to a show-kitchen for live action culinary experiences. With an additional 1,861 square-feet of dedicated indoor function space, Hotel MOHI by Appellation will offer the most premium accommodations of any competitive luxury resorts or wineries in the region.

“Léal Hospitality’s existing portfolio of Morgan Hill-based venues currently host more than 65,000 annual guests across 400 weddings and events per year, and we are consistently forced to turn away 50 percent of inquiries due to limitations in venue space and surrounding lodging accommodations,” remarks Frank Léal, Owner, Léal Hospitality. “Our partnership to create Hotel MOHI by Appellation will allow us to accommodate a wider array of meetings and celebrations, solidifying Morgan Hill’s position as a major hub for gatherings in Silicon Valley and the surrounding wine country.”

With the addition of Hotel MOHI by Appellation, the Appellation brand continues to carve a name for itself in several iconic destinations. The brand will continue a steady stream of new-build openings with Appellation Healdsburg next year, followed by Appellation Sun Valley, Appellation Petaluma and Appellation Pacific Grove.

For more information, please visit appellationhotels.com.

About Appellation
Appellation, meaning “to give a name to a place,” crafts unparalleled culinary-centered places of hospitality that immerse guests in the uniquely local aspects of exceptional destinations. The first hotel brand born from the merger of culinary and hospitality, Appellation is about comfort and connection over formality and extravagance – perfectly blending luxury amenities with real world experiences born of this place. The company is the vision of co-founders Charlie Palmer, one of America’s best-known chefs who arguably created the successful hotel restaurant model, and Christopher Hunsberger, who spent over 30 years in strategic leadership roles with Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts. When the first Appellation hotels open in Healdsburg (CA), Morgan Hill (CA), Sun Valley (ID), Petaluma (CA), Pacific Grove (CA), they will set a new standard for immersion in culinary, culture and community that can only be found “here.” To learn more, visit www.appellationhotels.com.
