The Autumn leaves bring beautiful changes to the Ozarks, and Branson, Missouri has become a very popular place to take in the spectrum of colors. This part of the Ozarks has also become a unique location to spend time with family over the holidays. If you live in the Branson area or plan to 
come out this way for Thanksgiving, we want to let you in on some great things that are happening at Main Street Marina.
Thanksgiving Dinner Cruises
Thursday, November 22nd is Thanksgiving, and Main Street Lake Cruises has two great opportunities to create lasting memories with your family aboard the Landing Princess for a fabulous luxury Dinner Cruise. This opulent dinner cruise will provide you with all the trimmings you would expect from the perfect traditional Thanksgiving feast and then some. Our chef will prepare this meal fresh in our kitchen for you and your loved ones. This menu will include:

This will all be served with complimentary coffee, soda, and water, but if you choose to partake in something a little stronger, we also have a fully stocked cash bar available as well. Our bartenders can mix the perfect holiday cocktail or pair a delicious glass of wine to accompany your meal. If you would like a bottle of wine or something special for your cruise, please ask our representative when you call to schedule your cruise. We will make sure that you and those you bring with you have just what they need for the occasion. 
Make your reservations soon; these cruises will fill up quickly.
Rock The Dock – Black Friday Weekend at The Paddlewheel
The Paddlewheel will be closed on Thanksgiving Day; however, we will open just in time on Black Friday to make sure you get the opportunity to unwind after all that family time and shopping. We plan to Rock The Dock all weekend!
Friday night, the 23rd, we will have the Rosy Hips back on the dock. Plan to get your dance on because they always fill a dance floor. Their modern upbeat sound has a way of getting you out of yourself and up on your feet.
Saturday, the 24th, we will feature Machine Gun Symphony! If the name alone doesn’t sound amazing, then you will find their music beats right into your system and makes you want to raise your RAWKFIST! This band is new to The Paddlewheel and we are excited to have them with us!
Each night the bands will start at 8 PM! Make sure you ask your servers about our great drink and food specials.
Just because there is a chill in the air doesn’t mean you won’t want to be out on the dock. There are always firepits blazing to take that cold out of the air. It’s always a good time to be at The Paddlewheel.
Any time of year is a great time to put on that Lake Attitude and come down to Main Street Marina. We look forward to seeing you over the Thanksgiving weekend!
When you come to the Branson Landing you are going to see a lot of great shops, attractions, and restaurants. You are also going to realize, as you walk along the Landing, that you have seen most of these concepts elsewhere. These corporate locations are probably duplicated in many 
places throughout the country. If you are looking for something representing “Local Flavor” when you come to Branson then you need to look no further than 
of that amazing view from our docks while you are here. Whether you are at our dockside restaurant or on one of our sightseeing or dinner cruises, we know that you will see the best the Ozarks has to offer. We feel fortunate to have this scenery around us always changing every day of the year.
Family means different things to different people, but in the Ozarks, we take the concept of caring for others very seriously. We are proud of our staff because they truly enjoy getting to know people as they take care of them. We are excited for you to get to know them.
The musicians and entertainers in this area have a very distinct flavor that represents the culture of the area. We work hard to make sure that special flair is represented in the live entertainment we bring to you. In the evenings The Paddlewheel turns into the largest nightclub in the Branson area, and we know how to 
We also give the locals an opportunity to jam on Wednesday nights with our 
Think back to a time when you got out of your car after a long week and looked out at the waterfront for the first time. The wind blowing softly carrying your cares and agenda out with the breeze. That first refreshing breath of air that you draw as you step onto that beach or walk 
along the dock. We bring that feeling to you every day of the year. You know that feeling. That is your “Lake Attitude” descending upon you. In addition, there are so many ways you can catch that feeling at 
Street Lake Cruises we have several options for you and your group. Take a beautiful luxurious dinner cruise aboard our 100-foot opulent yacht 
Climb aboard The 
If your idea of relaxation involves getting out on the water by yourself or with those close to you, we have all the gear you might need at 
If you plan to stay on the dock you won’t be disappointed in the experience, because the Paddlewheel offers the best of everything there is in Branson! By day you can sit dockside and enjoy an amazing view, and by night The Paddlewheel turns into the Largest Floating Nightclub the area has to offer.
When the sun goes down we know how to Rock The Dock! We bring the best entertainment from the region to you every weekend and most weekdays. You will get the best DJ’s and bands 
What an amazing New Year’s Party we had at 
During the week, at the Paddlewheel, we have Open Mic Night on Wednesday Night. On the weekend we will always be on the lookout to bring the best entertainment that the area has to offer. In addition, until March 1st, if you mention that you are a local you will receive 20% off your tab at The Paddlewheel. We really appreciate your business, so while many of our industries may 
be slower, we want to try to make it a little easier on your budget. It’s our way of saying thanks for making The Paddlewheel the most popular spot to be in Branson!
It happens all the time. When people that come from somewhere else and spend time with us dockside we get some very similar questions. Is this a lake or a river? What river are we sitting alongside? Why do they call this a lake when it looks like a river? We thought this would be a good place to explain some of the mystery of the picturesque and river (or lake) in Branson, Missouri.
Beach area declined and many of the tourists wanting to get into the water instead moved toward other activities in Branson. Swimming in a cold water lake just wasn’t desirable.
