You've Never Had Dinner Like This Before!

Christmas always held a special place in Dolly’s heart. She fondly remembered snow falling in the Smoky Mountains, stockings hung by the chimney, family gatherings and the scent of evergreen that signaled the beginning of the holiday season.

Those cherished memories helped inspire the warmth and wonder of Christmas at Dolly Parton’s Stampede, where families gather for a delicious four-course holiday feast, friendly competition, magnificent horses, breathtaking riding, music, laughter and plenty of Christmas magic.

“Christmas is my favorite time of the year.”

What a great show and dinner! We had such a good time. Our group ranges in age from nine months to 68 years old and we enjoyed ourselves immensely. The food was good, the service was exceptional and the show was so entertaining. The ending promoting the USA was so touching! Don’t miss out on going to this show!

Such a great experience for kids. They get to do everything we tell them not to at home; yell inside, eat with their hands and bang on the table. What more could you ask for!
