3 incredibly fun Branson events in Spring 2025

Branson is a worthwhile visit regardless of the day. However, there are some great Branson events this Spring that you should check out. You could even book a hotel room and make a trip out of it.

So, let’s take a look at the three Branson events we’ve found for you!

Branson Events Spring 2025

Barn Dance at Sycamore Creek Family Ranch

This wholesome and well-loved event at the Sycamore Creek Family Ranch is the perfect outing for people of all ages – including families! You will enjoy Texas two-step, country waltzing, swing dancing, and line dancing with light dance instruction provided.

Due to the overwhelming response, pre-purchase of tickets are required for all dances. Sycamore Creek Pizza Co. food truck will be on-site with wood-fired pizzas available for purchase. The pizza truck will open at 6:30 pm. They do not allow alcohol anywhere on the property at our barn dances. Bottled water, a variety of old-fashioned sodas, Gatorade, and tea are available for purchase. No outside food or drink is allowed, even if it’s in your vehicle. They do have seating around the perimeter of the barn and limited seating on the back porch. If you’d like to sit outside on the lawn, you’ll need to bring your own lawn chairs.

Sycamore Creek barn dances are open to ages 16 and up. Ages 15 and under are welcome only if they attend with their immediate family/parents. Parents must stay onsite with their children throughout the dance.

There are four dates for which you can purchase tickets this Spring! If you’re taking your special someone to the dance, make it an even more special evening by booking a room with a Jacuzzi en suite at Grand Oaks Hotel.
