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."
The 28th season of Dolly Parton’s Dixie Stampede promises to be the most exciting yet, as all-new sights and sounds create an atmosphere unlike any other! Dolly said,
“I want to dazzle our guests in 2015 with a completely new atmosphere. My team is hard at work creating a new set, powerful new music, lots of amazing special effects and a few other surprises.”
The changes include new state-of-the-art theatrical lighting and sound systems, as well as a new music score and aerial act. It marked the largest upgrade and investment in the show since it opened in 1988.
While there are a number of changes, the heart of Dolly Parton’s Dixie Stampede remains—its top notch cast and 32 magnificent horses and fabulous four-course feast.
The New Adventure begins February 13, 2015 at "The Most Fun Place To Eat In The Smokies!"
The spectacular show features 32 magnificent horses and top-notch riders. It has dozens of live animals, an original live Nativity and a dazzling display in the 35,000 square foot arena. More than 30 million people agree you have never seen a show like this.
Christmas at Dixie Stampede also has dramatic lighting, sound and pyrotechnics. President, Jim Rule says,
“To call Christmas at Dixie Stampede the largest Christmas production in the Smokies is an understatement. Our show is full of amazement, excitement and wonder which will leave your family with memories to last a lifetime.”
Christmas at Dixie Stampede transports guests into a holiday fantasy land, greeted by a head-turning Christmas display featuring a 45-foot tree surrounded by thousands of twinkling LED lights, evergreens and poinsettias. In the world-famous Dixie Belle Saloon, guests get in the Christmas spirit with Mountain Ruckus singing Christmas classics.
From there, the entire Dixie Stampede cast including 32 magnificent horses and dozens of performers take you on a nostalgic holiday adventure on a 35,000 square foot stage. Snow gently falls as Dolly Parton reminisces about her family traditions and the Christmases of her childhood spent right here in the Great Smoky Mountains.
Christmas at Dixie Stampede includes a four-course feast of Dixie Stampede’s Original Creamy Vegetable Soup and homemade biscuit, along with a tender whole rotisserie chicken, herb-basted potato, hickory smoked barbecued pork loin, hot buttered corn on the cob and Dixie Stampede’s very own specialty dessert.
