March is one of the best times to experience Branson before the busy summer travel season arrives. With spring break vacations, live entertainment, sporting events, Easter weekend and the anticipated spring opening of Silver Dollar City, there are plenty of reasons to plan a Branson getaway in March 2027.
The weather is beginning to warm, attractions are reopening for spring and families can enjoy many of Branson’s most popular experiences with fewer crowds than they’ll encounter during peak summer.
If you’re planning a Branson vacation in March 2027, here are some of the biggest events and activities to have on your calendar.
Branson Praisefest Spring Event | March 8–13, 2027
Southern Gospel and Christian music fans will gather in Branson for the Branson Praisefest Spring Event, scheduled for March 8–13, 2027, at The Mansion Theatre.
The multi-day event brings an impressive lineup of Christian artists to Branson, including Legacy Five, Greater Vision, Ernie Haase & Signature Sound, Ricky Skaggs, Brooklyn Tabernacle Singers and more.
Because Praisefest stretches across six days, it’s also a great opportunity to turn the event into a longer Branson vacation. Between concerts, visitors can explore local restaurants, attractions, shopping and the beautiful Ozarks.
The Gospel Music Encounter, scheduled for March 10–12 at Thousand Hills Resort, adds even more gospel music to Branson during the same week.
Traveling with a church group, friends or extended family? Consider one of Rent Branson’s large Branson vacation rentals with 11–12 bedrooms so your group can stay together while still having plenty of room to spread out.
College Softball Comes to Branson
Sports families will also have reasons to visit Branson in March.
The Showtime Classic, scheduled for March 5–7, and Grand Slam Classic, scheduled for March 12–14, bring college softball action to Branson.
For families traveling with athletes, a vacation home can be especially convenient. Full kitchens make team meals easier, while multiple bedrooms, laundry facilities and spacious living areas give everyone room to recharge between games.
Pirate 5K, 10K & Half Marathon | March 13
Runners can add a little adventure to their Branson getaway during the Pirate 5K, 10K and Half Marathon on March 13, 2027.
Whether you’re racing or cheering from the sidelines, consider making a weekend of it and enjoying Branson’s attractions after crossing the finish line.
Silver Dollar City Spring Break 2027
Spring break in Branson wouldn’t be complete without a visit to Silver Dollar City.
The theme park traditionally begins its season around mid-March, making spring break one of the first opportunities of the year to experience its roller coasters, family rides, demonstrations from skilled craftsmen, food and live entertainment.
Official Silver Dollar City 2027 opening and spring break dates should be confirmed closer to the season, so travelers should check the park’s operating calendar when planning their trip.
If Silver Dollar City is at the top of your family’s itinerary, browse our vacation rentals near Silver Dollar City to stay close to the action while still enjoying the space and privacy of your own vacation home.
Easter Weekend in Branson | March 26–28, 2027
Easter Sunday falls on March 28, 2027, creating another excellent opportunity for a spring weekend in Branson.
Visitors can typically find Easter brunches, church services, egg hunts and family activities throughout the Branson area. Seasonal attractions such as Shepherd of the Hills SpringFest also traditionally bring additional spring activities to the area.
Easter weekend is especially well suited to multigenerational trips. Renting a larger vacation home allows grandparents, parents and children to stay together while still having their own bedrooms and space.
For a quintessential Ozarks getaway, families can also browse Rent Branson’s collection of Branson cabin rentals, with options for everything from smaller family escapes to larger group trips.
Branson Shows Return for Spring
March also marks the return of more of Branson’s famous live entertainment.
As theaters begin their spring schedules, visitors can build an itinerary around Branson shows and attractions, including productions at Sight & Sound Theatres and performances from longtime Branson favorites such as The Haygoods.
Show schedules vary, so check individual theater calendars before your trip.
What Is Branson Weather Like in March?
March is a transition month in the Ozarks. Travelers can experience beautiful mild spring days, but temperatures can vary significantly throughout the month.
Packing layers is your best strategy. Bring comfortable shoes and lighter clothing for warmer afternoons, along with jackets and layers for cool mornings and evenings.
The changing season is part of March’s appeal. You’ll experience Branson as the Ozarks begin transitioning into spring without the crowds associated with peak summer vacation weeks.
Is March a Good Time to Visit Branson?
Absolutely, especially for families who want plenty to do without planning their vacation during the height of summer.
Early March brings sporting events and Praisefest, while mid-to-late March typically brings spring break travel, Silver Dollar City’s reopening and Easter activities.
Because Missouri’s March weather can change quickly, this is also an excellent time to choose a vacation rental with amenities your family can enjoy regardless of what’s happening outside. Browse our Branson vacation rentals with indoor pools for an especially fun spring-break home base.
