Dolly Parton's Dixie Stampede Dinner & Show

The talented cast of The Dixie Stampede doesn't consist exclusively of the human acts you're used to at other shows, but also includes the extraordinary talents of 32 powerful horses and their highly-skilled riders. The show takes place in a massive 35,000 square foot arena and offers seats for up to 1,100 astonished fans.

It’s easy to emotionally invest in “your team,” as the horses and their riders are introduced. They compete head to head in more modern challenges like the barrel race, or even events like the carriage race that is reminiscent of the thrilling chariot races of ancient Rome. Watch the elegant “Belles of the Ball” waltz across the arena in an enchanting array and laugh at the comparatively hilarious antics of Cowboy Skeeter. A collective intake of breath often precedes the romantic finale in which 30 white doves are released in a celebration of American freedom.

Pre-Show Entertainment

Dixie Stampede presents an exciting pre-show before each of their dinner shows. The entertainment choices vary, so you can experience a number of acts, depending on when you visit. Magicians, jugglers, and many other excellent performers will give you almost a full hour of excitement before you see the main show!

A Christmas Tradition at the Dixie Stampede

Throughout the holiday season, the Dixie Stampede is magically transformed into a winter fantasy land that brings the spirit of the season to life. Snow falls softly on the arena's twinkling lights, evergreens, poinsettias, and dusts the riders in old-fashioned holiday costumes. Familiar music fills your ears as a live nativity scene, complete with three kings riding atop real camels on their way to Bethlehem, fills you with the true holiday spirit. Beautiful angels will stun you with their beauty as they descend from up above. However, Christmas just isn't Christmas without festive fun and games! Playful elves from the North Pole and the South Pole will compete in a friendly rivalry while serving up a delicious four course meal. Good 'ole St. Nick arrives in an authentic sleigh full of goodies to join the entire cast, including the 32 magnificent horses to take you on a nostalgic holiday adventure that will be a magical experience for all ages!
