Mid to late May in Branson means visitors have the chance to enjoy entertainment and shopping at an Ozark Mountain festival that features just about anything — or "plumb nearly" anything — imaginable at the city's Plumb Nellie Days celebration.
Plumb Nellie Days Arts and Crafts
The highlight of the festival is the arts and crafts display that showcases the works of more than 150 artists and craft-makers from all around country. In addition to traditional crafts and works of art, visitors can browse and purchase everything from toys to quilts, and 'plumb nellie' everything in between! Apparel, accessories, ironwork items, floral arrangements, and unique, one-of-a-kind wares are just a few of the selections that can be found at Plumb Nellie Days. These skilled artisans will also be featured in a variety of demonstrations throughout the festival.
Plumb Nellie Days Activities and Events
Of course, this event is much more than just an arts and crafts show! There are special events and activities for the entire family, including the tremendously popular Outrageous Dog Show. These endearing four-legged performers and floppy-eared amateurs will show off in a fur-filled show that features categories including Best Dressed Dog, Owner Look-a-Like, Longest Ears, Waggiest Tail, Most Talented, and more. Any dog can enter, so bring along your own four-legged child for a special vacation experience he'll never forget as well!
