Description

from Dolly Parton's Stampede Dinner Attraction
Billed as the Smokies' Most Fun Place to Eat, Dolly Parton's Stampede is a restaurant and 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. The show culminates with an emotional musical conclusion set to a patriotic salute of Red, White, and Blue—featuring Color Me America, written and recorded by Dolly Parton herself.

As the action begins, you're served a four-course feast meant to satisfy those delicious home-cooked, country-style cravings. The menu includes Stampede's Original Creamy Vegetable Soup and hot buttery biscuit, as well as a mouth-watering, tender, and whole rotisserie chicken, delicious hickory-smoked pulled pork, hot-buttered corn on the cob, tasty herb-roasted potatoes, a specialty dessert, and unlimited Coca-Cola®, tea, or coffee.

Get here early and enjoy a leisurely stroll alongside the open-air stables to sneak a peek at the horses. It's your chance to meet the equine stars of the show up close and discover their flawless beauty. Before the main event, join us in the Saloon for ALL-NEW pre-show entertainment with an incredible mix of bluegrass and country music performed live for our guests! Browse the gift shop or grab a cold drink in a souvenir Boot Mug while you get ready for the Smokies biggest production, Dolly Parton’s Stampede!

Each year, Dolly Parton’s Stampede gets into the spirit of the holidays with a special Christmas show for the whole family. Become enchanted as workshop elves serve a Yuletide feast, and Santa arrives by sleigh. Toys come to life and holiday music abounds as we reveal a live Nativity scene.

"Not as exciting as I’d hoped"
February 2024 NEW
Backstory: I’m from East TN and grew up going to Dollywood. I had never been to the Stampede show before. I had went to see the Pirate’s show last month, and it was amazing and excellent! I highly recommend it. The Stampede show was not as exciting. The food was better at the Stampede, but the show was kinda hokey and it just didn’t induce the kinds of ooo’s and awww’s that the Pirate’s show did. The Stampede was like a churched up rodeo. I thought it was going to be more exciting than it was, but I still clapped and got into it as much as I could. I wouldn’t do this show again.
I got my tickets through Tripster, and I highly recommend getting your tickets through them! I saved a lot of money and I had no issues at all once I got to the show.
