The beautiful Ozarks Mountain gives shade to the Entertainment Mecca of Southern Missouri, Branson. It gives space to world-class facilities for live entertainment. ABA (American Bus Association) counts Ozark Mountain Christmas (2008) amongst the Top 100 Events of North America. If you are looking to spend sometime with your family and enjoy fresh air, scenery, entertainment and music, then you should definitely pay a visit to Branson.
Festival of Lights
Downtown areas of Branson are lit up using spectacular displays. They even have businesses adored with colorful lights (commonly seen during holiday season) for Branson Area Festival of Lights. If you move down the trail that leads to the Inspiration Tower, you would come across the displays of the city. Visitors have the option of climbing to the top of the tower and having an amazing view of the city and the mountain.
60th Annual Adoration Parade
It was during December 7, 2008, there was an old-fashioned parade for Christmas, which livened up the town. Floats and bands were a great complement to the wonderful parade.
Branson Entertainment
Amongst the reasons why people travel the city of Branson, the one most common to all is entertainment. Branson Theatres have holiday shows from November till the beginning of the New Year. Christmas Carols become a part of the atmosphere with a number of family shows being organized for you. Jim Stafford, Yakov Smirnoff, Presleys and Oak Ridge Boys are there to make your stay memorable. A variety is available for adding delight to your family. There are more than 100 live events for your family’s entertainment.
This year, it will be the Lennon Sisters and Tony Orlando performing in the city’s Branson Theatre, whereas Andy Williams is going to stage a show at the Moon River Theatre.
Old Time Christmas from the Silver Dollar City
An Old Time Christmas, presented by Silver Dollar City, was once given the honor of being amongst the top five events staged during the holiday season in the entire country by the ‘Good Morning America’. The city of Branson gets illuminated by almost 4 million lights. Again, all of these are complemented by a 5-story special and a Dickens’ Christmas Carol.
With an array of events taking place during the holiday season, you should not think of missing out on a visit to Branson.
