When considering destinations for your annual 4th of July vacation, it’s no surprise that Branson was at the top of your list. It’s hard to get more American than a trip to the Ozarks, and with so much to do and see, it’s becoming the most popular tourist destination in the world! But if you’re traveling with young children (or you are still a child at heart yourself!), you may be worried about the all-important fireworks situation. How will you know where to go to see the best displays? Fortunately, you chose wisely when you chose Sunset Nightly Rentals for your vacation accommodations, and because we don’t want you to miss out on the most important part of our Independence Day celebrations, we’ve compiled this list of the top fireworks displays in town!
Hughes Music Show Presents an Independence Day Show
No one should be surprised that one of our favorite fireworks displays is a part of one of the premier shows in town. Offering a family picnic, family friendly games, and a spectacular fireworks display immediately following the show, your All-American holiday celebration will shine like no other!
Branson Landing’s Liberty Light Up Celebration
Branson Landing can’t wait for the 4th of July Branson for their fabulous fireworks display, so they are offering their annual show on the night before. Branson’s Land will feature the best of country music performed by Jason Pritchett and the Steel Horses, followed by a fireworks display over Lake Taneycomo that will take your breath away! Call 417-561-2500 to purchase your tickets today!
Main Street Fireworks Cruise
Why celebrate 4th of July Branson by watching only one fireworks show when you can spend $49 (plus tax) and watch them all from the decks of the Landing Princess luxury yacht or Lake Queen Paddleboat? This two-hour cruise takes you all over Lake Taneycomo, enabling you to watch all the fireworks shows in the area. Offering food and alcohol for purchase as well, your 4th of July celebrations will take on an elegance you never suspected possible!
4th of July Branson, From the Porch of Your Sunset Nightly Rentals Lakefront Cabin
Who says you have to go out to have a good time? More than likely you will be able to see more than one fireworks show from the back porch of your rustic and charming cabin! Put on your pajamas, pour yourself a frosty one, and sit back for a fun evening of oohs and ahhs. Reserve yours today and celebrate our nation’s birthday the right way!
If you close your eyes, you can almost picture it clearly: spending a morning of your vacation strolling up and down the aisles of the local farmers’ market, wearing your cutest farmers’ market hat and your most comfortable (yet stylish) shoes as you pick and choose from a cornucopia of color! Juicy red tomatoes, a homemade boysenberry jam, even a darling little pair of earrings purchased from a local artist, because everyone knows farmers’ markets offer more than fruits, veggies, and homemade goodies. These are just a few of the things “fantasy you” is putting in her stylish cloth shopping bag, and when you vacation in Branson, your dreams can come true with this list of the best farmers markets in Branson MO!
Branson Farmers Market, 100 Branson Landing
Tuesday evenings are the right time to enjoy the fruits of our local farmers’ labors. The Branson Farmers Market starts at 3PM and ends at 7PM, offering aisle after aisle of organic goodies and special treats. A balloon artist is on premises to help keep the littlest members of your party smiling, and a henna artist can help you return home with an exotic look!
Farmers’ Market of the Ozarks, 2144 East Republic Road, Springfield
The best part of any vacation is having large parts of your day free and open to do anything you please, and if you love a road trip, the Farmers’ Market of the Ozarks is open Thursdays and Saturdays and is less than an hour drive away from your Sunset Nightly Rentals cabin! Take the scenic route on the way there and snack happily on your return from your cache of home-baked treats you purchased at this popular market!
McKenna Family Farm, 3265 State Highway F, Branson
Sometimes the best farmers’ market visit happens when you actually visit the farm, and the McKenna Family Farm has been pleasing produce lovers for generations! Selling fresh vegetables (it’s tomato season right now!), farm fresh meats, and pumpkins in the fall, a visit to the farm is also a great way to show your city kids that food does NOT originate at the grocery store!
Eating Your Veggies in Style
Eating your veggies is no longer a punishment, especially when you get to enjoy them while gathered around the table of your Sunset Nightly Rentals vacation escape! Staying in a place where the tomatoes are always ripe and juicy and the broccoli never clashes with the décor is a treat not everyone gets to experience; contact us today and discover the difference all-natural makes!
Vacations are a time when we can forget about the stresses we deal with daily—a time where we toss away our ties, slip on our flip flops, and ditch our diets. Vacations are a time for epicurean adventures we can’t experience at home. And while Branson may be more known for homestyle country foods like meatloaf and barbecue, it’s another country’s food we are going to talk about today. The country is Italy and the food is, of course, pizza! Even on vacation we can’t stop craving that gooey goodness that can be adapted to any dietary desires, and even though there really isn’t such a thing as a bad pizza, your vacation experience will be enhanced when you try out these best pizza places to eat at in Branson MO!
Ozark Mountain Pizza, 9273 East State Highway 76, Branson West
The most unpretentious places often serve the most delicious foods, and Ozark Mountain Pizza is one of the best pizza places in Branson! Their focus is on the hot pies they serve in-house to happy customers from all over Branson and the world; they also offer delivery for those nights when you can’t face getting out of your sweats! And although pineapple on pizza is a hotly contested topic these days, if that’s the way you swing, their Hawaiian pizza will never disappoint! The secret is the sauce; they offer a choice of barbecue or their homemade tomato sauce, and there is no wrong choice!
Pizza World, 225 Cross Creek Boulevard, Branson
Another local stop that offers delivery (isn’t delivery food the greatest invention?), Pizza World also features healthy options for the strong people in your family who have the ability to pass on a meaty, cheesy, and gooey pizza slice! The Amore Roma will please the hearts of every carnivore out there, while the Ciao Bella is a vegetarian option that allows you to choose between standard pizza sauce and or an olive oil glaze; both options are crazy good!
Florentina’s Ristorante Italiano, 2690 Green Mountain Drive, Branson
When seeking out that taste of Tuscany, you can’t go wrong with a visit to Florentina’s Ristorante Italiano! Offering a classic Italian atmosphere, a full menu of standard Italian meals, and some of the best pizza selections in town, we make this a regular on our tours of Italian pizza places! Authentic, elegant, and just plain awesome, all their dishes are incredible, but their brick oven pizzas make it hard to try anything else. Our favorite is the Polpette, a carnivore’s dream that adds homemade meatballs to the standard meat mix.
Home Sweet Casa
Although your rustic Sunset Nightly Rentals cabin may not appear Italian in décor, you can make it so with the laughter of family and the enjoyment of pizza you’ve purchased from any of the above locations. Reserve yours today!
