As temperatures start to drop, fall festivals abound in Branson! Major festivals such as Autumn Daze and Silver Dollar City’s Harvest Festival will showcase hundreds of local and national crafters, merchants and entertainers. Check out these celebrations happening this fall:
COUNTRY MUSIC DAYS
Kick off the season with the sound of country music at Silver Dollar City's Country Music Days, new to the theme park in 2019. Enjoy 13 days of country music performances featuring talented voices and Saturday night celebrity concerts in Echo Hollow September 6-22.
STATE OF THE OZARKS FESTIVAL
The State of the Ozarks Festival in Historic Downtown Hollister (just a few miles south of Branson) will be full of entertainment, live music and shopping on September 14. Festival goers can expect to find crafts, street actors, cosplay characters, dancing, yoga sessions, a kids’ area with inflatables and more. This free event will be held from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., followed by musical performances at a few downtown ventures.
BLUES, BREWS & BARBECUE FESTIVAL
Who says barbecue is only meant for summer? Also on September 14, you can experience finger-licking barbecue samples and a blues concert from 5-10 p.m. at the Branson Landing. Then head to Andy B's Bowl Social for an after party full of games and refreshments. Blues, Brews & Barbecue is a festival with a cause - a portion of the festival's proceeds will benefit The Boys & Girls Club of the Ozarks.
AUTUMN DAZE ARTS, CRAFTS AND MUSIC FESTIVAL
Over 80 local crafters, vendors and artisans will fill the streets of Historic Downtown Branson for three days of exhibitions, demonstrations and entertainment this September for "Autumn Daze." The festival, which will be held September 19-21, will mark the 46th year for Branson to host this annual event.
HARVEST FESTIVAL
From September 25-October 26, Silver Dollar City visitors will be able to participate in the theme park's first Harvest Festival featuring Craft Days and Pumpkin Nights. You won't want to miss this new, glowing display of thousands of illuminated pumpkins and non-frightful fun for the whole family!
HOLLISTER GRAPE & FALL FESTIVAL
Learn about a crop with a unique part in Ozarks history, and celebrate the start of fall on October 12 at the Hollister Grape & Fall Festival. With activities such as a grape stomp, Color Me Grape 5K, petting zoo and more, this festival is the perfect family-friendly outing.
FALL ROUNDUP
Enjoy fall with a nostalgic and rustic flare at Sycamore Creek Family Ranch this year. On Saturdays and Sundays through October and select weekends in September and November, Sycamore Creek will hold its Fall Roundup, a carnival-stye event with hot cocoa, gunny sack slides, bonfires, horseback rides, a huge corn maze and more. You'll feel in sync with nature afterwards!
STILL WATERS RESORT HARVEST FESTIVAL
Between September 13 and October 31, the Second Annual Still Waters Resort Harvest Festival will be held at Still Waters Resort. With the beautiful Ozark Mountains and Table Rock Lake as a backdrop, this festival is a great way to experience impressive autumn views and family fun all at the same time. The event will feature daily activities such as giant inflatables, live music, great food and hayrides through a pumpkin patch from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m.
VETERANS HOMECOMING WEEK
Veterans are honored all year long in Branson, but Veterans Homecoming Week is always a special week-long commemoration for servicemen and women. Special concerts, reunions, dinners, activities and the city's annual Veterans Day Parade in Historic Downtown Branson will all be a part of the event November 5-11.
