In 2026, the Semiquincentennial marks 250 years since the signing of the Declaration of Independence—a time to reflect on the nation's founding principles and the journey since. We're proud to celebrate at Dolly Parton's Stampede with a show that pays tribute to the land that has given us so much, the people who made it great, and the spirit that carries us into the future.
This year we're pulling out all the stops with new patriotic decorations and our long-standing segments throughout the show honoring the vast, diverse lands of the USA and the people within them. We honor a nation that now stretches from sea to shining sea, reaching farther than the founders could have imagined in 1776.
As part of our 250th celebrations, our Branson, MO location recently participated in the city's annual Flag Day Parade, and helped set a new Guinness World Record™ for the Largest Flag Mosaic!
Meanwhile, we'll be giving away t-shirts at the Pigeon Forge Patriot Festival in Patriot Park, and will be represented in the annual 4th of July Midnight Parade through Gatlinburg, TN. There's no shortage of patriotic pride at all our locations!
Whether you visit us in Pigeon Forge or Branson, prepare to settle into our 35,000-square-foot arena and watch it all unfold: daring horse-riding stunts, stunning musical productions, family-friendly comedy, soaring aerial performances, and more—with a four-course feast served right to your seat. Prepare to be moved by the heartfelt performances and a Dolly Parton original song and recording of "Color Me America" in our spectacular Patriotic Finale, celebrating the nation in dazzling red, white, and blue.
From the moment you arrive at Dolly Parton's Stampede to the moment you leave, you'll be making patriotic memories that last long after the evening is over. Check out our show schedule and get your Dolly Parton's Stampede tickets to celebrate America today!
