Start here
The fountain show
In Town Square, fountains shoot water and bursts of fire in time with music and lights. Shows start at noon daily, weather permitting, and they’re free; the evening shows, after dark, are the ones to see. Find a spot along the boardwalk railing a few minutes before the show begins.
RV tip: shows can be cancelled for weather, maintenance or concerts, so if one is skipped, browse the shops and catch the next.
More to see
- The boardwalkA long lakefront promenade connects the shops, restaurants and fountains along Lake Taneycomo.
- Bass Pro ShopsThe big outdoor store anchors one end of the Landing, worth a look even if you aren’t shopping.
- Waterfront ziplineParakeet Pete’s zipline runs from the boardwalk out over Lake Taneycomo and back (extra cost).
- Holiday seasonA Trick or Tree parade on October 31, 2026, kicks off Christmas, and a 63-foot animated tree lights up Town Square.
Why go
Branson’s best free evening
Branson Landing lines Lake Taneycomo next to Historic Downtown Branson, with shops, restaurants and a hotel along the water. The fountain show in Town Square is its signature, and it costs nothing to watch.
For RVers it’s unusually easy. The city’s Branson Lakeside RV Park is next door, about 2 minutes away, and the free downtown trolley stops at the campground, so you can leave the rig parked and skip the parking search.
It’s also a good bad-weather plan. Stores stay open year-round, Monday to Saturday from 10 am to 9 pm and Sunday from 10 am to 8 pm, and the holiday season brings a giant animated tree to Town Square.
