Giddy up for some good news, y’all. Dolly Parton’s Stampede is charging into the new season with more excitement than ever before!

Get there early because the experience starts well before dinner is served. Start by meeting the four-legged stars on the Horse Walk. The pre-show entertainment is back and better than ever. Head on inside for a quick photo op, then enjoy a musical performance in the Saloon that hits all the right notes. Grab a cold drink or a snack while the band plays. It is like getting two shows for the price of one!

You don’t want to leave Dolly Parton’s Stampede empty-handed so before you go into the arena, stop by our gift shop to find the perfect souvenir. Our gift shop has something for all ages. Kids love the selection of plush toys, from horses to our resident comedian, Skeeter!

Once in the main arena, dig into a classic four-course Southern meal, starting with the Stampede’s own creamy vegetable soup – you will love it so much you’ll want to pick up the mix in the gift shop. You will also get our hot, buttery biscuits. Next, enjoy a tender delicious whole rotisserie chicken and buttery corn on the cob. There’s some new additions to the menu: hickory-smoked pulled pork and herb-roasted potatoes. Top it all off with Stampede’s signature dessert. But our delicious dinner is just part of the experience.

Dolly Parton’s Stampede is known for thrilling horse-riding stunts, spectacular special effects and phenomenal music productions. The show still features the amazing Roman Ride of Fire and daring trick riding stunts.

New this year is a breath-taking segment called Butterfly Dreams, as seen in the pictures above. Enter a magical world of winged horses, brilliant, blooming flowers and vibrant, colorful butterflies. The new segment is a celebration to Dolly Parton’s favorite creature. Butterfly Dreams showcases a stunning aerialist display that combines equestrian stars and incredible aerial acrobatics.

Just when you thought the show couldn’t get any better, enjoy a patriotic salute to the USA, “Color Me America,” a Dolly Parton original.
