About

Dust off your boots, and get ready to saddle up for one epic performance at Dolly Parton's Stampede Dinner Attraction in Branson! Filled with family traditions, friendly competitions, comedy and beautiful storytelling, this incredible production leaves guests with fun memories for years to come.

Featuring a cast of 32 majestic horses and expert riders, Dolly Parton's Stampede weaves a variety of stunts, musical numbers, special lighting and effects from a 12.5 million LED light wall, plus audience participation to create an inspiring show. Watch horse riding tricks and jumps at top speeds, cheer on the team of "Canine Capers" (a relay race and agility course featuring rescue dogs), and root for your side of the theater with comedic antics. The show also features a menagerie of other animals, including pigs, doves, buffalo, longhorns and even a dancing chicken. We won't give any spoilers, but you'll be amazed at the show's grand patriotic finale set to Dolly's original song, "Color Me America."

A mouthwatering four-course dinner is included with every Stampede ticket! Your true country-themed meal includes a whole rotisserie chicken, hickory smoked barbequed pork loin, creamy vegetable soup, a herb-basted potato, homemade biscuit, hot buttered corn on the cob and an apple turnover for dessert. You won't have to worry about being thirsty: unlimited Coca-Cola, tea and coffee is available through the show. Vegetarian and gluten-free meals are available upon request when you purchase your ticket. Fitting with the show's authentic and rustic theme, eating with your hands is encouraged!
