- The Funland Farm Radio Hour (3:30 PM & 6:30 PM): This interactive comedy show pulls the audience right into the action. Volunteer “Foley” sound artists from the crowd will create every single live hoofbeat, thunderclap, and cock-a-doodle-doo!
🎸 Lakeside Chills & Good Vibes
After conquering the rides and slides, wind down your holiday evening with great music and scenic views:
- Dockside Vibes (5:00 PM – 8:00 PM, intermission at 6:00 PM): Head down to The Dock to let live music carry you away against a spectacular waterfront view. Pro-tip: Grab a refreshing drink from the Lakeside Beer Garden on your way!
- Timbertown Live featuring The Oat Bran Boys (5:30 PM – 8:30 PM): Settle into a classic rocking chair by the fire at the Timbertown Live Stage. It’s the ultimate spot to slow down, relax, and enjoy quality time with the people who matter most.
