Beloved ‘Branson Country USA’ returns for one special Wild Bunch Appreciation Night on May 22

After thousands of laughs, songs, memories and Friday nights shared together, one of Branson’s most beloved late-night traditions is coming back for one very special evening.

On Friday, May 22 at 10:30 p.m., Grand Country Music Hall will once again turn on the big red light for a special presentation of Branson Country USA — a heartfelt Wild Bunch Appreciation Night celebrating the loyal audiences who helped make the show a Branson favorite for more than two decades.

The special event comes following the retirement of the long-running radio and television show in December of 2025 after 23 years on radio and 13 years on television.

“This night is really about saying thank you,” said Mike Patrick. “Branson Country USA was always more than just a show. It became a weekly gathering place for friends and families who loved great country music, clean comedy and the feeling of being part of something special.”

Guests can expect an evening filled with classic country music, comedy, special memories and many familiar faces from the show’s long history. The event will feature members of the Grand Country cast, including favorites from Grand Jubilee and the Rhinestone Mafia Band.

As part of the appreciation night, Season Pass Holders will receive complimentary admission to the special Branson Country USA show. Guests are encouraged to begin the evening with the 7:30 p.m. performance of Grand Jubilee. Between shows, complimentary ice cream will be served in the lobby as fans gather and reconnect before the late-night reunion begins.

Over its historic run, Branson Country USA welcomed legendary guests, rising stars and countless loyal fans from across the country, becoming a signature part of Branson’s entertainment landscape.

Organizers say seating for the one-night-only event is expected to fill quickly.
