“Get your tickets now for one of the hottest events Branson has during Hot Winter Fun. Typically the Big Show sells out! The Big Show has become a tradition for many visitors who plan their trip to Branson around the event. It’s also something local residents enjoy. We all have a good time, get to see some of our favorite shows, see some of the new shows, and the proceeds are used to help market the Branson,” says Sue Braun, Executive Director of The League of Branson Theatre Owners & Show Producers (The Branson Show League).
The annual Hot Winter Fun Big Show is sponsored by the Branson Show League. “Marketing the months of January, February, and March as Hot Winter Fun started in 1994 as a way to let our guests know they could enjoy the Branson experience year ‘round. The Hot Winter Fun Big Show was created to raise funds to help us market Branson,” says Cindy Merry, marketing chair for The Branson Show League.
All of the entertainers donate their performances to the cause. Many volunteers and local businesses including the Branson Tri-Lakes News, Ozark Mountain Newspapers, Northwest Arkansas Democrat, and others help to market and sponsor the show. Cater Branson/Golden Corral sponsors backstage goodies for the stars. For tickets call 417-339-3003 today.
