Dolly Parton’s Stampede

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. A new four-legged star makes her debut this season, as Buttercup, a Highland cow, joins the cast and brings an extra measure of cuteness everywhere she goes. Also, Butterfly Dreams, featured this season, showcases a stunning aerialist, winged horses, and brilliant, blooming flowers. 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 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 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. It's your chance to meet the equine stars of the show up close and discover their flawless beauty.
