The annual Branson Z Fest will be held May 29-31 in Branson, MO. in the beautiful Missouri Ozarks just south of Springfield, MO. There are lots of challenging roads with gorgeous scenery in addition to numerous activities. Here's a sample:
Wednesday- May 27. For the early arrivals "Tour the Rock"-a 60 mile drive with gorgeous views on twisty roads with some great photo ops.
Thursday-May 28. Also for the early arrivals, the "Peel Ferry Cruise". A longer drive than Wednesday with lot's of curves and hills and to take your car across Bull Shoals Lake on a ferry! This is one of the most popular events.
Friday-May 29th. Take a drive over to Eureka Springs, AR., a cool little town built pretty much on the side of a mountain.
Friday night- Drag racing!! OR go to a drive-in movie set up just for us right next door to our hotel.
Saturday-May 30. Car show followed by an awards ceremony.
NOTE: The above are recommended activities. You can do what you what and set your own schedule and agenda.
And, maybe the thing Branson Z Fest is most famous for are the nightly parking lot conferences.
Past Branson Z Fest have brought cars from CA., AZ., CO., TX., NE., KS., OK., AR., LA., MS., TN., KY., IL., MI., N.J., IA., CT. and Ontario, Canada.
