Branson/Lakes Area Calendar of Events

November 1 - January 15
White Flight at the Butterfly Palace

November 1 - January 2
Branson Area Festival of Lights
Daily 5:30 p.m.-11 p.m.
This drive-through light festival is designed to delight children of all ages. Your journey begins with a one-mile drive along a path illuminated with more than 175 displays. The path is located off Shepherd of the Hills Expressway and Roark Valley Road, this one-of-a-kind family experience promises to be spectacular.

November 1 - January 2
Shepherd of the Hills Trail of Lights
Dusk till after the shows
With a Heritage of Holiday Magic, The Trail of Lights is a drive-thru animation display that will carry you into the very heart of Christmas. The Trail winds its way through the historic 160-acre homestead, and will take you down the famous "Trail that Nobody Knows How Old" into a holiday wonderland. You'll travel through a variety of different lands, each with their own theme, from fantasy to religious to patriotic. Life-size (and some larger than life) three-dimensional characters have their own housing so you can "peek" in on the fun happening inside. Festive holiday music is themed to each scene, and visitors are sure to find themselves singing along. The Trail also includes millions of multi-colored Christmas lights. Every building on park is completely illuminated, and there are hundreds of lighted displays as well as the animated scenes. As the grand finale to the journey, visitors are invited to stop by Inspiration Tower where they can ride glass elevators up 230’ for a Santa’s eye view of the lights from above.

December 31 - January 1
Guy Penrod & Family
8 p.m. each night
Guy Penrod is in every sense of the word a man cut from the cloth of rugged individualism. Never is this more evident than in the tracks of his first solo country album project, BREATHE DEEP.  It's more than a collection of thirteen new songs, it's the creative thumbprint of a man with strong values and a positive worldview that harkens back to deep roots in faith and family. His well-publicized departure in recent months after 14 years as a centerpiece of Bill Gaither's celebrated "Vocal Band" was not a move for the faint of heart—nor for a man less sure that he's tracking on a right course set for new horizons. With the launch of BREATHE DEEP, Guy Penrod will tell you he's not looking to change the face of country music. Only to bring a new perspective to its best attributes.  And to the question—'is this a new Guy Penrod?' -there's a short answer.

December 31 - January 1
