Best Overall Performance
As one of the first dinner shows to open in Pigeon Forge, Dolly Parton's Dixie Stampede is a classic performance that delivers big to this day. Owned by national star and hometown hero Dolly Parton, the Dixie Stampede is a crowd-pleaser year after year.
Upon entering the large, recently renovated arena, audience members will be seated on the 'North' or the 'South' side of the theater to witness a friendly, spirited competition. Throughout the show, you'll get the chance to root for your side while performers perform incredible equestrian stunts to win the 'battle'. Talented riders perform tricks, ride through flaming rings, and even stand on the backs of two horses.
The show is also known for its high-quality production and talented singers and dancers. Dolly Parton's Dixie Stampede's food is 'finger-licking good,' not only because the meal is served without silverware, but also that it features country classics everyone will love.
Before the show, you can personally meet some of the stars of the show: the horses in at the horse-walk near the ticket counter.
