Dolly Parton’s Dixie Stampede in Pigeon Forge opened its 28th season with a New Adventure on February 13, 2015! With eager fans snapping up tickets to see the show, the dinner attraction added additional shows to its opening weekend schedule.
The $2.5 million renovation is the largest-ever since opening in 1988. It includes new music and special effects and features a 12.5 million LED bulb wall. However, at the heart of the show remains its talented cast and impressive stable of horses. Dixie Stampede Pigeon Forge is a fun-filled, action-packed extravaganza. In an interview with Mashable, director of marketing Woody Peek said,
"Our connection with Dolly and Dolly's music, along with the equestrian theme, has been our mainstay. That is not changing. Our show will still have the 32 (equestrian) stars of the show, and our riders will be performing."
Billed as "The World’s Most Visited Dinner Attraction," Dolly Parton’s Dixie Stampede in Branson, MO, features 32 magnificent horses, a stampede of buffalo, a Rumble in the Treetops lumberjack relay and a family-friendly rivalry between the North and South. To top it off, you will enjoy a fabulous four-course feast! The Dixie Stampede family feast includes a whole rotisserie chicken, hickory smoked barbecued pork loin, our Original Creamy Vegetable Soup, a homemade biscuit, corn on the cob, a herb-basted potato and Dixie’s very own Specialty Dessert.
Dixie Stampede Dinner Attraction in Branson, MO, also features the "Roman Ride of Fire." It is a special type of trick riding, featuring two horses moving side-by-side with the rider standing astride both horses. The Roman Rider and her team of horses end with an amazing jump through a burning ring of fire.
New renderings revealed during the Dollywood’s DreamMore Resort construction tour feature the resort’s outdoor pool which fits right in with its already beautiful Smoky Mountains' surroundings. The nearly 4,000 square foot pool meanders through a lushly landscaped pool deck and provides families with a refreshing retreat.
In addition to the pool, there’s an interactive family splash pad for more water play. Details like the pool patio are not forgotten—while sunbathers can soak in rays, landscaping also provides shady spots throughout the area so the experience is enjoyable for everyone.
The construction tour participants were also among the first to see a sneak peek of some of the resort’s interior amenities in-the-works, including the indoor pool, grand lobby and guest rooms.
Captain Blackbeard and his band of pirates have returned to Buccaneer Bay at Pirates Voyage Dinner and Show for its 2015 season!

With acrobatic competitions, live animals, beautiful mermaids and a four-course feast fit for a captain, your family will take home memories to last a lifetime!
