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 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.
