For over three decades, Dolly Parton’s Stampede has woven a tapestry of equestrian brilliance, lively music, engaging storytelling, comedic flair, and a delectable four-course feast into a singular and unforgettable dinner show. Marking its 37th season on February 9, this iconic attraction, celebrated as the World’s Most Visited Dinner Attraction, seamlessly merges thrilling equine performances with a sumptuous culinary experience.

The 2024 season promises to enthrall with beloved performance segments featuring equestrian stars, awe-inspiring stunts, comedic brilliance, and enchanting music. Last year’s aerialist act returns, elevating the show to new heights. From the initial display of equestrian prowess to the final savory bite of the four-course feast, Dolly Parton’s Stampede presents an extravagant celebration that transcends the ordinary.

The Stampede experience begins with the Horse Walk, offering guests a chance to meet the equine stars. The pre-show entertainment in the Saloon, featuring live bluegrass and country music, sets the stage for the grand spectacle unfolding in the 35,000 square-foot arena. Here, a backdrop reminiscent of the Great Plains, complete with live buffalo, thunderous longhorns, and settlers, comes alive through a stunning LED display. Singing, dancing, aerial acts, special effects, and masterful horse-riding skills transport guests to the American frontier beneath a starry night sky.

A culinary star in its own right, the Stampede’s four-course feast invites guests to savor creamy vegetable soup, a buttery biscuit, a whole rotisserie chicken, corn on the cob, and more, culminating in a specialty dessert and unlimited beverages, including Coca-Cola® products, tea, and coffee. Special dietary options, including vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free meals, are available upon request.

Dolly Parton herself encapsulates the sentiment, stating, “My Stampede dinner show is an unforgettable experience. I love that folks who visit get to sit down together and share a big feast while watching an incredible show. There’s nothing better than being with family and friends, creating memories.”

Recognized as “The Smokies Most Fun Place to Eat,” Dolly Parton’s Stampede offers an unparalleled fusion of showmanship and dining, making it the highlight of any excursion to Pigeon Forge and the Great Smoky Mountains. This entertainment experience promises to craft enduring memories for guests.
