Still deciding on your family travel for 2022? Consider Branson, Missouri, and its Silver Dollar City, which just announced 2022 as its “biggest entertainment year ever.” The 1880s-style theme park features world-class festivals and events and hundreds of shows and performers, alongside 40 rides and attractions, demonstrating artisans, the Marvel Cave and home-style cooking. Spring Ride Days kick off March 16.
Street Fest, April 14–May 1
Street Fest features performers, stilt walkers, musical performances and foods from around the world. Arrive early to start with an all-you-can-eat breakfast buffet.
Bluegrass & BBQ Festival, May 4–30
Ten stages and hundreds of performers, like Rhonda Vincent & The Rage and Daily & Vincent, entertain at this festival, which also features pitmasters serving thousands of pounds of meat.
National Kids Fest, June 11–July 24
Find family entertainment, a demonstrating crafts colony, fun foods and more during Kids Fest. Summer concerts boast names like The Ozark Mountain Daredevils and families can package Silver Dollar City with other area attractions.
Moonlight Madness, July 23–Aug. 7
Ride the rollercoasters with a side of nighttime fireworks. There’s also a nightly dance party for those not as keen to embark into the darkness on rollercoasters.
There’s so much more still on the lineup for Silver Dollar City in 2022, so plan accordingly:
- Southern Gospel Picnic, Aug. 25–Sept. 5
- Country Music Days, Sept. 8–11, 15–18
- Harvest Festival, Sept. 21–Oct. 29
- An Old Time Christmas, Nov. 5–Dec. 30
