One of the fall’s major arts and craft events is back.
The 49th Autumn Daze Arts, Crafts, and Music Festival will take place on Sept. 15, 16, and 17 in downtown Branson featuring over 80 vendors.
“We are so excited for the many new vendors we have coming this year and for Mark Anderson demonstrating his glass-blowing techniques,” Downtown Branson Betterment Association Executive Director Jessica Luthardt said.
The event will have vendors from all over the United States, some traveling from as far away as Colorado and Florida. The vendors at the event will have items including furniture, clothing, jewelry, soaps, glass, quilts, decor, and other home items.
The entertainment over three days will be on the Entertainers Stage on Commercial Street. Angie Sherrill will be the festival musical host and will play games with attendees between the performing acts for prizes.
The family-friendly event will also have multiple activities for the kids.
Food trucks will be available on site with a variety of food choices including chili dogs, funnel cake fries, cheesesteak sandwiches, walking tacos, Italian sausage, and fresh-squeezed lemonade.
The event will also feature a special tribute to soldiers missing around the world hosted by the local POW/MIA Chapter. The ceremony takes place on Friday, Sept. 16, starting at 11 a.m. on the entertainment stage.
