Ring in the New Year in Branson

Two weeks from today is New Year's Eve. Where did this year go?  The older I get, the more time flies, it seems.

Have you ever thought about ringing in the New Year in Branson?  This year (2018), New Year's Eve is on a Monday so you could take a nice four day trip to Branson to close out the Old Year and bring in the New Year.  Since this is the quiet season, hotel rates are cheaper now. 

Silver Dollar City will still be celebrating an Old Time Christmas until December 30 so if you didn't get to visit SDC during Christmas season, you still have a chance to see all the beautiful Christmas lights and shows.  If you didn't get what you wanted for Christmas, there will be after Christmas sales at the outlet malls and other shops.

On New Year's Eve, there are several special New Year's Eve shows for you to choose from.  These shows are listed below, and if you double click on the title of the show, you will be taken to that show's website.  Since New Year's Eve is only 2 weeks away, you may want to call the theater directly to make sure that there are still seats available. Most shows start later in the evening so you can enjoy a New Year's Eve dinner before the show.

Legends in Concert - Send out the Old Year in style with performances from your favorite tribute artists.  Most tickets come with a box lunch and the VIP experience features a steak and lobster meal.

All-Star New Year's Eve Show at the Americana - This show comes with a Big D's BBQ dinner, one of the best BBQ places in Branson.  I couldn't tell from the website who will be performing that night, however. 

Showboat Branson Belle - Cruise on Table Rock Lake on the Showboat Branson Belle and bring in the New Year with a dinner and a show. 

Silver Dollar City New Year's Celebration - SDC rings in the New Year with a radio show production, a dance party and an appearance by the Cleverlys.  Plus, all of the Christmas lights will still be up, adding to the festive atmosphere.

Motown Downtown - Ring out the Old Year and celebrate the 60th anniversary of Motown with this show.  It's over by 9:00 PM, so you could go to another show after this one or go out for a New Year's Eve dinner. 

Hughes Brothers - The Hughes Brothers put on some spectacular shows and New Year's Eve is no exception.  You get your choice of either a box dinner or fine dining. 

Clay Cooper-Haygoods - You get 2 shows for the price of one at this New Year's Eve show, plus snacks and a balloon drop at midnight.  There is also a cash bar for those who would like a little stronger drink. 

Hamners' New Year Eve Fiesta Party - This family-friendly event features the Hamners Unbelievable Variety show and Mexican food to nosh on.  You can't go wrong with that.

Chateau on the Lake New Year's Eve Celebration - For a classy New Year's Eve, visit the Chateau on the Lake's New Year's Eve party with a cocktail party, dinner and dancing, and a champagne toast at midnight, along with fireworks. 

Thanks as always for reading!  I'm wishing you a happy, healthy and prosperous New Year (and many trips to Branson!
