Branson’s longest-running holiday tradition kicks off the Christmas season on the first Sunday in December. At dusk, the 28-foot Adoration Nativity Scene is lit on the bluff above Lake Taneycomo, where it can be seen for miles.

The Adoration Parade follows, with local high school marching bands, floats from churches and community groups, and an appearance by Santa. The route begins at the Branson Convention Center’s south parking lot and runs through Historic Downtown Branson and along Branson Landing Boulevard. The event is free and family-friendly.
