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. 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 homemade biscuit, as well as a mouth-watering, tender, and whole rotisserie chicken, delicious hickory-smoked barbeque pork loin, hot-buttered corn on the cob, tasty herb-basted potato, a specialty dessert, and unlimited soft drinks.

Get there early and enjoy a leisurely stroll alongside the open-air stables to sneak a peek at the horses. It’s also your chance to meet the equine stars of the show up close and discover their flawless beauty.
