Silver Dollar City Announces Two Big Opening in Mid-May!

Silver Dollar City Bluegrass & BBQ Opens May 13 & Showboat Branson Belle Sails May 14


(Branson, Missouri 5/06/2021) With travelers actively seeking great outdoor experiences and adventures, Silver Dollar City’s Bluegrass & BBQ Festival, and the 2021 season for the Showboat Branson Belle, are both opening earlier than originally scheduled. The launch of one of the nation’s premier Bluegrass festival is Thursday, May 13, with the Showboat cruises setting sail Friday, May 14. That’s days earlier for Silver Dollar City, yet two weeks for Showboat Branson Belle.

The spotlight also shines on the City’s famed barbecue, as the park introduces the first ever Bluegrass & BBQ Tasting Passport where guests pick 5 tastes to try parkwide. Meats are smoked on-site for up to 16 hours, and are included in creative recipes such as Smoky BBQ Pork Pizza, Skillets, BBQ Mac & Cheese selections or a variety of stuffed BBQ Waffles Cones, topped off with desserts such as layered Mason Jar Sundaes. Festival runs May 13 – 31.


Showboat Branson Belle Sets Sail, May 14, 2021


All aboard for the Spring launch of the Showboat Branson Belle, a four-deck re-imagining of an authentic 1890s paddle wheeler of yesteryear, celebrating a quarter-century on Table Rock Lake. The Showboat Branson Belle offers Noon, 4:00pm and 8:00pm cruises.


Docked at beautiful White River Landing in Branson, Missouri, the 700-seat Showboat Branson Belle spans nearly the entire length of a football field. Once aboard, passengers explore the wrap-around scenic decks, enjoy award-winning magician Christopher James & a high-energy variety show with singers, dancers and a live band. Each cruise offers a three-course meal prepared in the ship’s galley. Premium seating with a chef-crafted menu is also available. www.showboatbransonbelle.com

It's great that both the Bluegrass Festival and the Showboat are opening earlier than scheduled! With Noon, 4:00pm, and 8:00pm cruises for the Showboat, there might be some gaps in the day, especially if you're trying to hit everything. A little brain teaser like Play MeowdoKu Free Online would be a perfect way to pass the time between activities.

That Bluegrass & BBQ Tasting Passport sounds incredible, especially with meats smoked for up to 16 hours! Deciding on just 5 tastes is going to be a strategic challenge. Maybe I'll practice my decision-making skills with a quick round of [Free Online StonkRider Game] while I'm waiting in line for my first BBQ waffle cone!

I love that the Showboat Branson Belle is celebrating a quarter-century on Table Rock Lake, especially with its 1890s paddle wheeler re-imagining. It makes me wonder about all the creative ways they could depict that history. Maybe an Image to Image Generator could even help visualize some truly unique show concepts for future seasons!
