Billed as Branson's Most Fun Place to Eat, Dolly Parton's Stampede is a dinner show like no other. Watch as 32 magnificent horses and a cast of top-notch riders thrill you with daring feats of trick riding and friendly competition inside a 35,000 square foot arena.

This action-packed Branson dinner show delivers more than horsemanship. Cheer along as Skeeter and his sidekick chicken, Nugget, keep the laughs coming. Stunning special effects, elaborate costumes, and a phenomenal musical production fill the arena, including the breathtaking Butterfly Dreams segment featuring winged horses, vibrant blossoms, and colorful butterflies soaring overhead.

The show concludes with an emotional patriotic finale salute of red, white, and blue, featuring the song Color Me America, written and recorded by Dolly Parton herself.

Dolly Parton's Stampede tickets include a hearty four-course feast designed to satisfy home-cooked, country-style cravings. The menu features the Stampede's Original Creamy Vegetable Soup and a hot buttery biscuit, followed by a whole rotisserie chicken, delicious hickory-smoked pulled pork, buttered corn on the cob, homestyle mashed potatoes, a specialty dessert, and unlimited Coca-Cola®, tea, or coffee.

Arrive early to stroll past the open-air stables and meet the equine stars up close. Enjoy live bluegrass and country music during the Saloon pre-show, browse the gift shop, or grab a cold drink in a souvenir boot mug before the main event begins.

Each year, Dolly Parton's Stampede transforms into a festive Christmas celebration in Branson. Workshop elves serve a Yuletide feast, Santa arrives by sleigh, toys come to life, and a live Nativity scene fills the arena with holiday spirit. Wise men on camels even join the celebration, Stampede style.

"The show was Great but a little disappointed in the meal."
January 2026
The show was wonderful as always, beautiful Christmas nativity section. The meal was disappointing. They changed several items, not for the good. They went from Pepsi to Coke (big disappointment!). They went from a chunk of tenderloin (which you could eat with your hands or take home for later) to pulled pork which you had to add your own BBQ sauce if you were close to a bottle and which you could not put in your "doggie bag". They went from a potato wedge (which you could eat with your hands or take home for later) to mashed potatoes which you could not put in your "doggie bag". The meal, even the soup was cold this time. I used to rave about the hot meal with Pepsi, pork loin and a potato wedge but this year I was very disappointed. The apple turnover was excellent like always.

"Wonderful Action Packed Evening of Fun & Great Food"
November 2025
This show was at the top of our list for shows experienced during our 1-week stay in Branson! Well organized with the seating and also with serving the food in a way that it was hot when presented to us! The show was non-stop, well done and very entertaining! I would definitely include this for a repeat during future annual visits!

Tip: Great, fresh, and lots of food served - so go there hungry! Use the bathroom before you are seated as it may be challenging to go during the show, plus you will not want to miss anything!
