All the years we’ve lived in NWA and of all the times we’ve visited Branson, we’ve never been to the Dixie Stampede. You are on the north or south side of the arena and root for the red or blue and are served a four course meal, much like at medieval times.
We. Loved. It.
Instead of rooting for Rebels or Unions, we saw a new, “settlers of the Wild West” celebration show. It was fabulous and very old west, all American, with beautiful riding, music, and dancing. The kids especially loved the sideshow comedy and magic tricks. Dinner was a bowl of soup, cheesy biscuits, a corbish hen, a slice of pork loin, roasted potato wedges, lemonade, apple turnovers, and corn on the cob. All delicious. I knew the kids would not be impressed by the finger food concept, so I smuggled in some plastic ware to keep everyone satisfied. Huge win, and it was a super fun time with my kids while they were on fall break.
Also, the preshow was a 3 man bluegrass group that had everyone on their feet clapping and dancing. Our other favorite part was everyone standing for the giant flag holders on horseback finale. We just loved it all.
