The new route this year will go north Branson Landing Blvd. from its junction with Lakeside, turn north on Business 65 to its junction with Commercial St. from where it will proceed north on Commercial through historic downtown Branson and down and around Branson Landing.

Branson’s Adoration Parade is a non commercial event honoring the true meaning of CHRISTmas and celebrating the lighting of the giant Nativity Scene high above Historic Downtown Branson on Mount Branson. It’s combination of non commercialism, the theme of “Keeping Christ in Christmas,” and the time of day it is held make it one of the most unique parades in America, if not the world. It is one of Americas few night time parades and every float must carry their own self contained lighting system. Many of the marching units have miniature lighting systems on their uniforms and instruments.
The Adoration Parade and Nativity Scene lighting has been an Ozarks tradition for well over half a century, long before the Branson became a popular Christmas destination. It is first and foremost, a way for those privileged enough to live in these blessed Ozark hills to have an opportunity to celebrate the birth of the One for whom Christmas is named, the Christ Child, and the hope, love, and peace that He offers.
For maps or further information on the route contact the Branson/Lakes Area Chamber of Commerce & CVB 1-417-334-4084 or 800-214-3661.
