Silver Dollar City has a heap of new fun headed your way for its 65th season. From a new spring festival to a drone show and live tree lighting, a bundle of surprises unfolds all season long.

Spring Exposition— A brand-new festival comes to life with new experiences to explore. Join master gardeners as they demonstrate techniques in raised beds, then grab a partner for an old-fashioned hoedown with the new Kinfolk Bluegrass Band on our oversized dance floor. Gaze up at the new Parasol Sky over Valley Road as pops of color stretch two stories overhead or stop and listen to the new Ragtime Piano Showman on the Gazebo. The famed All That percussion dancers from America’s Got Talent will take the stage at the Opera House as part of the new Down-Home Clogging Jamboree. More musical treats are at Red Gold Heritage Hall’s new Fest House, which showcases cultures from around the country with three new bands playing traditional Cajun, Dixieland and Polka music. Spring will bring new flavors to savor from across the nation! The feast of America’s best eats includes jambalaya pasta, shrimp Po’boy sandwich, fried cheese curds, cornbread salad and an Ozarks’ fish fry!

Summertime Entertainment—Get ready for the debut of Night Sky, an all-new drone and fireworks spectacular. More than 100 drones flying overhead will dance and light up to a carefully choreographed show, sharing the sky with dramatic bursts of fireworks to tell the story of an Ozarks summer night. Plus, a laugh-out-loud Wild West Comedy Stunt Show in Red Gold Heritage Hall features slapstick stunts that will leave you in stitches! Another new, must-do with the family is the Silver Dollar Circus with world-class acrobats performing high-flying feats on teeterboards, spinning on Cyr wheels, hand balancing and chair stacking live from the Opera House stage.

Plaza Expansion—The Plaza, a new happening hub of fun and entertainment, will double the size of The Grand Exposition in 2025. The redesigned space houses permanent shade structures, plus seating and a new entertainment stage and food booths. The Plaza is the place to catch dance parties, new drone show and the new Christmas experience.

New Christmas Cheer—Silver Dollar City’s season finale is An Old Time Christmas®, which will feature The Plaza’s new centerpiece, The Grand Plaza Fir. The living tree lighting ceremony will have all the feels of Rockefeller Center each evening with holiday cheer, music and the magical flicker of over 150,000 lights in a triumphant crescendo. An all-new stage production—The Heart of Christmas— is a must-see times two! The shows stars Lindley Creek through November 27 and returns after Thanksgiving with music from the Queen of Bluegrass Rhonda Vincent.

Free Preschool Season Pass—Children born in 2020 or 2021 will receive free admission to Silver Dollar City and White Water all season long with our Free Preschool Season Pass. Registration is required and opens on October 9 at www.silverdollarcity.com/preschool.
