Branson Fire Rescue Trick-or-Treat (All Stations)
If you’ve got little ones who love fire trucks, this is a can’t-miss stop. Branson Fire Rescue invites families to trick-or-treat at any of the Branson fire stations.
One easy option near Historic Downtown:
- Fire Station #1: 1103 W 76 Country Blvd, Branson, MO 65616 (just up the hill from Historic Downtown)
Cost: Free
A few quick tips:
- Go early if you have younger kids. The 5–6 PM window is usually the easiest for strollers and little legs.
- Pack a backup bag. Candy adds up fast.
Watch for teal pumpkins. They’re a great way to find allergy-friendly options.
