Official Web site of Branson, Missouri
Truly a remarkable vacation destination, Branson is an incredible value with more than 50 live performance theaters, three pristine lakes, 12 championship golf courses, an international award-winning theme park, dozens of attractions and museums, shopping galore, a full range of dining options, and a host of hotels, motels, resorts and meeting and conference facilities.
Branson's live music entertainment industry turns 50 this year! And 2009 also marks the 50th anniversary of Branson's first show, The Baldknobbers. In 1959, the Mabe brothers started entertaining visitors in downtown Branson that came to the Ozarks to enjoy the outdoors and the lakes. Little did they know that Branson would become the "Live Music Show Capital of the World!"
Branson is less than a day's drive for one-third of Americans, and with low-cost flights to the new Branson Airport, as well as Springfield-Branson National Airport, it's never been easier for your family or group to get to Branson.
