Fall festivals at the Land of Oz theme park in Beech Mountain, North Carolina, inspired by 'The Wizard of Oz' movie (1939), will take place on select weekends in September 2023.

This fall 2023,"Wizard of Oz" lovers can immerse themselves in the wonderful ‘Land of Oz’ in Beech Mountain, North Carolina. "We always say the ride that you go on is like the emotional nostalgic ride of walking through Oz," Barrett said. "Especially the moment when people hit the yellow brick road for the first time, they get very choked up," he added. "It’s that moment, and it's the moment that Dorothy [is] singing in Kansas. It's these two moments that you don't expect to hit people as hard as they do. But, we’ve had grown men wiping away tears.
