Top 3 Things to Do in Branson in the Fall

Are you ready to “fall” in love with Branson? The fall season brings a whole new aspect of adventure and excitement in this popular vacation city. Visitors travel from near and far to experience everything the area has to offer, from seasonal events to beautiful fall colors. It’s one of the best times to visit Branson! If you’re planning a trip, we can help you decide what to do while you’re here. Take a look at these three things to do in Branson in the fall:

1. Visit Dolly Parton’s Stampede

One of the top attractions to visit on your fall vacation is Dolly Parton’s Stampede. Not only do we provide visitors with a memorable evening, but it’s your last chance to see our regular show before the holiday season kicks off! You don’t want to miss the opportunity to see our skilled lumberjacks compete and our magnificent horses and trick riders perform. From family-friendly comedy to mesmerizing musical productions, our show has it all! While you watch, you’ll get to feast on a mouth-watering meal that matches the season perfectly. As the weather gets cooler, nothing tastes better than a warm bowl of soup, and our signature creamy vegetable soup is sure to hit the spot. Our four-course feast also includes a tender, whole rotisserie chicken, hickory-smoked pulled pork, delicious sides, and a tasty dessert.

Our show may be the main event, but we also have exciting activities for guests to enjoy beforehand, including our Horse Walk and pre-show entertainment. You’ll have a full evening of fun at Dolly Parton’s Stampede.

2. Take in the Fall Foliage

One of the best things to do in Branson in the fall by far is take in the beautiful fall foliage. The area transforms from green to deep colors of red, orange, and yellow, making for a stunning sight throughout the Ozarks. We recommend going for a walk along Lake Tanycomo for some of the most beautiful views. If you’d rather explore from the comfort of your car, you can enjoy the Highway 165 Scenic Overlook. It’s a 22-mile drive that offers great views and numerous photo opportunities! The sights are picture-perfect during fall in Branson.

3. Enjoy Fall Festivals

When you visit Branson during the fall season, don’t miss out on the exciting events in the area. One that you have to experience is the Harvest Festival at Silver Dollar City. This fun-filled event features a master pumpkin carver, delicious fall-flavored treats, craftsmen, cooking demonstrations, a pumpkin dance party, and more. Be sure you stay until the sun goes down to enjoy Pumpkins in the City, a glowing event with thousands of illuminated pumpkins, special night rides, and non-frightful fun. We recommend getting light-up gear from the Pumpkin Emporium and enjoying character photo ops, trying some warm apple dumplings and savory waffle cones, and going on the newest family raft ride, Mystic River Falls, at night! Guests of all ages will have a blast at this seasonal event.
