One of the busiest Labor Day weekends in the last few years is underway in the Lakes Region.

The Branson Wings of Pride Airshow begins today and goes through Monday at the Branson Airport. The pilots and others associated with the show have been in the region for several days and events around the show have garnered large crowds including the opening ceremony Friday night at the Branson Landing. The show itself is already sold out today and Sunday with limited tickets still available for Monday's performance starting at 10:30 am.

Meanwhile, Thunder Ridge Nature Arena is also busy with three straight days of concerts that started with Breaking Benjamin and Three Days Grace on Friday and continues with the Turnpike Troubadours Saturday and Tim McGraw on Sunday.

A feature on the anticipated impact and preparations for the weekend in the Branson and Hollister areas can be found on the Ozarks First Website.
