Branson and the Ozark Mountains: Annual Events - Branson MO Travel Planning Guide

Preview: It seems like every little community in the Ozarks has an annual event designed to celebrate something or another, more an excuse to have a get-together and renew acquaintances, make new ones, and blow off a bit of steam than anything else. These celebrations are as Ozarkian as pie suppers, Saturday-night fish fries, and gospel sings. Whether it’s Gainesville’s Hootin’ N Hollerin’, Houston’s Emmett Kelly Clown Festival, or Nixa’s Sucker Day (not the kind that’s born every minute, but an ugly but good-eatin’ fish found in local streams), the affairs have contests, races, food, drawings, exhibits, and other events that can be interesting and fun for locals and visitors alike. Perhaps it’s even more fun for the outsider, who can see the events with a fresh perspective. This travel guide contains information for travel and vacation planning in the Branson and the Ozark Mountains area with a specific focus on special festivals and events, many of which are held in outdoor parks or other public spaces.
