Area guide: Shows and entertainment
Our recommendations for shows in Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge
There are plenty of shows available in the area. While they will not be to everyone’s taste (especially if you have an aversion to the somewhat cheesy!) these are some that we have enjoyed and that have a pretty broad appeal. Note that several of them are dinner shows, with the food included in the ticket price.
See all of our recommendations in our guide for Gatlinburg and the Smoky Mountains!
Recommended shows

Dolly Parton’s Stampede
Dinner show which enacts a fun-filled competition between North and South. A bit difficult to categorize – but includes horse stunts, music show, and a filling dinner. If you prefer not even a joking take on differences between North and South, this show is best avoided.
