Saturday, August 10, 2024 at 12:00 AM

BRANSON, Mo. (August 9, 2024) — The spirit of the music will move you during Silver Dollar City’s Southern Gospel Picnic, featuring the most notable names performing live during the day and into the evening, Aug. 22 – Sept. 2, with extended hours through 8 p.m. on Saturday, Aug. 31 and Sunday, Sept. 1.

“Our festival has become Southern Gospel’s biggest event of the year,” says Amanda Carson, Entertainment Manager for Southern Gospel Picnic. “From traditional to contemporary, the joyful harmonies take you on a journey that will have your toes tapping and your hands clapping!”

Prominent groups headline nightly concerts at The City’s 4,000-seat Echo Hollow Amphitheatre, including The Isaacs, The Inspirations, The Hoppers, The Martins, Triumphant Quartet, Karen Pack & New River and Greater Vision. All Southern Gospel Nights concerts begin at 6 p.m. with seating starting at 4 p.m.

Southern-inspired cuisine takes center stage at The House of Chicken & Fixin’s, with savory picnic-style fare at this all-you-care-to-eat feast. Homemade hits like Southern-style fried chicken, firecracker chicken and honey barbecue chicken are just the start, coupled with a fresh vegetable pie, featuring a flaky crust layered with tomatoes, yellow squash, zucchini, sweet onions and basil, topped with a cheese filling and baked golden brown. Side “fixin’s” include Tuscan green beans and potatoes, chicken pot pie and chicken & wild rice casserole. And, for dessert—fresh blackberry cobbler.

A full schedule of festival performers, calendar of dates and schedule of park hours is available at www.silverdollarcity.com on the Silver Dollar City app, a free download on any mobile device. Silver Dollar City is closed Monday, Aug. 26.

Southern Gospel Picnic is one of ten annual festivals and special events sponsored by Silver Dollar City, an internationally award-winning 1880s theme park nestled in the Ozark Mountains near Branson, Missouri. The picturesque “City” was founded atop the massive National National Landmark, Marvel Cave. A demonstrating crafts colony of 100 artisans accompanies 40 rides and attractions, including record-breaking roller coasters, family-friendly thrills and Ozark Mountain period-inspired attractions.

Southern Gospel Picnic is presented by Humana.
