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. New this year is a breathtaking segment
called Butterfly Dreams. Enter a magical world
of winged horses, brilliant, blooming flowers and
vibrant, colorful butterflies. Butterfly Dreams
showcases a stunning aerialist display that combines equestrian stars and incredible aerial
acrobatics. And finally, 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 fourcourse 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 mouthwatering, tender, and whole rotisserie chicken,
delicious hickory-smoked pulled pork, hot-buttered corn on the cob, tasty homestyle mashed
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. You can meet the equine stars of the
show up close and discover their flawless beauty.
