The Dolly Parton Stampede is designed to inspire and entertain and has become a tradition in Branson and the Great Smoky Mountains. It's a challenge to find another all-out evening where country entertainment can outdo the stampede!
See them perform a number of challenges like carriage racing, pig races, lumberjack relays, and barrel racing. See a real buffalo stampede and other animals. When the riders aren't performing, watch the comedy of the cowboy Skeeter or watch a waltzing performance.
This is an all-American experience, so at the end, see the patriotic finale themed in red, white, and blue. See the tribute to America in the Grand Patriotic Finale.
