Branson Landing is the town's lakefront district: a waterfront mile of shops and restaurants on Lake Taneycomo, anchored by Bass Pro Shops, facing historic downtown across the street. It is Branson's outdoor living room — and its film record is a year of the district's life.
The walk and the show
FindUsHere check into the Hilton Branson Convention Center Hotel at the Landing's door and walk the district from it — the general orientation. The signature spectacle gets its own film: the nightly Water and Fire Show in full, the fountain, flame and music production at the district's center on the lake (filmed 2021).
The district's calendar
Four event films fill the year. Winter Wonderlanding 2025: 33 minutes of the district in full Christmas dress, anchored by Bass Pro's Santa's Wonderland. Jeep Branson floods the Landing for its festival kick-off — hundreds of Jeeps on the waterfront. A quiet New Year's Day: family-style lunch at Paula Deen's Family Kitchen (cheddar garlic biscuits, fried chicken, pot roast) and a local-paced holiday walk. And the Kansas City Chiefs Rally — Branson is the Chiefs' official vacation destination, and the Landing hosts the team's fan rally.
