THE BEST OF BRANSON Harvest Festival featuring Craft Days & the new Pumpkin Nights, runs through Oct. 26 Fall at Silver Dollar City is brand NEW this year…by day and night with the NEW Harvest Festival featuring Craft Days and NEW Pumpkin Nights that runs through October 26 (Wednesdays – Sundays) and was created with the concept of a full day AND night of fun for families in mind! The nighttime event, NEW to Silver Dollar City, will showcase thousands of lit pumpkins and carved masterpieces. Most prominent will be the iconic custom-designed pumpkin characters that will create must-see photo ops, some reaching from the ground to as high as four stories. These include the pumpkin greeter, pumpkin craftsmen, owls, spiders, bats, a cat and others. And, with master pumpkin carver Barry Brown on hand, guests can take home a carved "funkin" of their own or even have a pumpkin custom carved just for them. Plus, nightly black light dance parties, along with over 40 rides and attractions like Time Traveler—The World's Fastest, Steepest & Tallest Spinning Coaster, will keep the park glowing into extended hours of 9pm/10pm on Fridays & Saturdays. During the day, the NEW Cirque Eloize Lumberjacks Show (running through October 13) will entertain park-goers with a pulse-raising acrobatic musical production show created exclusively for Silver Dollar City by an internationally acclaimed French-Canadian troupe. Plus, guests can explore the NEW Makers' Market, a vintage mercantile atmosphere that rotates out new artisans throughout the festival in a showcase of timeless craft techniques like rug weaving and embroidery to trendy arts such as hand-painted family moniker signs, custom baby accessories and more. Food at the park also adopts a fall look and palette with pumpkin-flavored churros and ice cream, glow-in-the-dark beverages and classic fall favorites like caramel apples, cider and more.

She was born Norma Jean Mortenson, but you know her as Marilyn Monroe. "Diamonds are a Girl's Best Friend" and "I Wanna Be Loved By You" are a few of the songs performed by this American icon. "Shake Your Tail Feather" with The Blues Brothers™! Jake and Elwood are sure to get "Everybody" laughing and dancing in their seats.

CHATEAU ON THE LAKE RESORT & SPA If you are looking for a fall getaway that provides an absolutely beautiful setting, you should consider visiting the AAA Four-Diamond Chateau on the Lake Resort & Spa in Missouri's picturesque Ozark Mountains. Known for its breathtaking lakefront setting, the resort is also just minutes from the many attractions and shows of Branson. Featuring dozens of theaters, Branson offers more than 100 live shows, which include fun tribute concerts, magic shows, comedy routines, acrobatic shows and dinner shows. With all that it has to offer, it is easy to see why Chateau on the Lake Resort & Spa was recently named the "#1 Best Missouri Resort" and the "#1 Best Branson Hotel or Resort" by U.S. News & World Report in its prestigious "2019 Best Hotels" rankings for the second year in a row.
