\n\tThe Stampede operates locations in both Pigeon Forge \u2014 also home to Dollywood, which features a collection of 50 rides and attractions \u2014 and Branson, Missouri. The family-oriented attraction combines four-course southern meals with action in the form of musical performances, horseback theatrics, acrobatics, and more. The Pigeon Forge location opened in 1988 under the name Dixie Stampede. It was renamed in 2018. <\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cWhen they said \u2018Dixie\u2019 was an offensive word, I thought, \u2018Well, I don\u2019t want to offend anybody. This is a business. We\u2019ll just call it \u2018The Stampede,’\u201d Parton told Billboard<\/a> <\/em>in 2020 about the racist connotations of the word \u201cDixie\u201d and its association with the Confederacy. \u201cAs soon as you realize that [something] is a problem, you should fix it. Don\u2019t be a dumbass. That\u2019s where my heart is. I would never dream of hurting anybody on purpose.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n
