Some guest favorites include:
- The Clay-Goods Jambor-Eve – a high-energy, family-friendly music show featuring The Haygoods and Clay Cooper

Staying at Grand Oaks Hotel means you’re just minutes from many of Branson’s most popular theaters, so you can enjoy the show and head back to your room without a long drive.
Dining & New Year’s Eve Meals
f celebrating over a great meal is more your style, Branson has plenty of options for New Year’s Eve dining. Many local restaurants offer special menus or festive atmospheres to close out the year.
Popular nearby spots include:
- Level 2 Steakhouse – an upscale option for a special night out. Includes a 5-course dinner
- Downing Street Pour House – casual dining with live music vibes
Our central location makes it easy to enjoy dinner, entertainment, or both — without feeling rushed.
A Relaxing Start to the New Year
Not everyone wants a loud countdown and confetti. If your idea of the perfect New Year’s celebration is rest and relaxation, Branson is a great choice. Enjoy a peaceful evening at the hotel (maybe in our Jacuzzi Suite), take a dip in our indoor pool, or unwind in one of our spacious rooms or suites.
After a busy holiday season, a calm getaway can be the perfect way to reset and welcome the year feeling refreshed.
Things to Do on New Year’s Day
New Year’s Day in Branson is ideal for exploring at a slower pace. Many attractions remain open, and crowds are often lighter than during peak holiday weeks.
You might enjoy:
- Titanic Museum Attraction
- Branson Landing for shopping and waterfront views – also, don’t miss their New Year’s Eve celebration featuring a major fireworks display over Lake Taneycomo
- A scenic drive or walk along Table Rock Lake
Or, of course, you can sleep in and enjoy a quiet morning before heading home.
