BRANSONBULLETIN BRANSONBULLETIN BRANSON'S CLASSIC COUNTRY SHOWS Branson's classic country shows feature classic country songs, famous artists, tribute performances and chart- topping hits. Mentioned as one of the Best Destinations for Country Music Fans: Where to Visit in 2021 in Rolling Stone magazine, "Branson is one of the few places where you can find a country music performance every night of the week. Entertainers mix in plenty of songs you know and love, which means these shows will have you toe-tapping and singing along. Choose from tributes to classic artists like Patsy Cline or head to a show featuring today's greatest hits. Branson makes it easy to squeeze in a little of everything." AQUARIUM AT THE BOARDWALK It's one of the newest things to do in Branson, and is unlike any other aquarium you've visited. Features that your family can expect to enjoy include more than 250 different animal species, an original 5D submarine adventure to the bottom of the sea, sharks, a 24-foot high Kelp Forest climbing structure for kids, stingrays, a gorgeous 16-foot view of a coral reef, two mirrored art installations that give the sense of infinite ocean life, lionfish, and more than 7,200 individual sea animals. Kids will also meet the Aquarium's characters Aquarius, the wise and helpful Giant Pacific Octopus and Finn, the adventurous Golden Puffer. THE GRAND PRIX POWERBOAT NATIONALS RACE The Grand Prix of Missouri Powerboat Nationals Race will make its annual appearance in Branson the weekend of June 19-20. These watercraft look like fighter jets on the water. The pilots race on a high-speed oval course and maintain top speeds as they enter into and maneuver around the turns without letting up, fighting each other for the win. Watch Lake Taneycomo be transformed into a thrilling track for some of the world's fastest and most well- known powerboat racers. It is the perfect two-day thrill for the whole family! Watch this free event from the fountains at the heart of the Branson Landing for the ideal vantage point of the races. The viewing area extends from the south side of the Branson Jet Boat dock to the north end of Bass Pro's White River Fish House. The race course is designed to stay close to the shoreline, making for a spectacular spectator's sport. THE BEST OF BRANSON Smith Creek Moonshine is an authentic moonshine tasting attraction with two locations in Branson, Missouri. Their flagship location is at the heart of the Branson Landing and their newest location can be found at Tanger Outlets. Moonshine is simply made from a base of corn, sugar, yeast, and water. However, they took this traditional recipe to a whole new level by adding a special twist of different flavors, sometimes smooth, sometimes bold, but flavors that are always distinct. Flavors like Apple Pie, Salted Caramel, Butter Cake, and Sweet Tea to name a few. At the heart of the Smith Creek Moonshine experience is the opportunity to sample all of the flavored shines at the complimentary tasting bar. Eager to share all that they know, the bartenders enthusiastically explain the story behind each flavor, and there are plenty from which to choose. The wide variety of flavors that they offer gives the guests a complete moonshine- tasting experience unlike any other, which gives them an opportunity to discover their favorite flavors before heading home with a few jars. In addition to the complimentary tasting bar, Smith Creek Moonshine also features a restaurant, mixed moonshine cocktail bar (Branson Landing location), as well as a retail store where guests can purchase bottled moonshines, apparel, sauces, dry rubs, scented candles, and so much more.
