Dolly Parton’s Stampede opens its Christmas show in Pigeon Forge on Wednesday, Oct. 28. The holiday production runs through Jan. 3, 2027.
The show includes a living Nativity with Mary, Joseph, the Three Wise Men, camels, donkeys and sheep. Another sequence moves onto ice, while “The Magic of Toys” puts aerial performers over the arena to music from The Nutcracker.
Stampede’s 32 horses remain at the center of the production. The holiday show mixes equestrian performances with competitions between the North and South poles before Santa arrives for the finale.
The 35,000-square-foot arena uses a panoramic LED wall for its snowy backdrops and holiday scenery.
Admission includes a four-course meal with Stampede’s creamy vegetable soup, a biscuit, rotisserie chicken, barbecued pork loin, corn, a potato and dessert. Soft drinks, tea and coffee are included.
