Branson Summer Vacation – Turn on The Heat!

Branson in the summer is a fun vacation destination. The mornings often begin with a cool fog brought in from the Ozark mountains which is perfect for an outdoor breakfast. As the day begins, it offers extensive opportunities for water activities at three local lakes and also the river. Scuba diving, canoeing, water skiing, and boating are popular activities.

If you want to stay out of the midday heat, there are over 100 indoor theater events, dance performances, music shows, and plays that are available each day. A popular venue is the family friendly Barber Variety Show which has magicians, ventriloquists, and comedians. Broadway themed shows and local musicians are good entertainment to enjoy on a summer night. There are also many concerts frequently available by famous artists. If you want a truly unique experience, stay out of the heat while you tour a cool underground cavern.

Branson is home to many festivals during the summer including an Annual Woodcarving Rendezvous, Mustang Rally, Fiddlers Festival, and many fishing contests in local waters. Fly fishing is exceptionally popular, and many classes are available. National Kidsfest is active from mid-June to mid-July at Branson’s Silver Dollar City themepark. From exciting thrill rides to easy cruising on artificial logs down a waterway and dances, there are activities that are sure to please every kid.
