July is Showboat Season
Do you hear that? It’s the sound of toes
tapping. It must be Showboat season. The
54th annual season of
Mississippi Melodie Showboat begins July 9th. Set on
the banks of the Mississippi River,
Showboat delights audiences with a
vaudeville variety and musical show
reminiscent of the riverboat shows of
the late 1800’s. Performances are held
Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings
at 8:30pm the last three weekends of
July. This year’s theme chronicles the
trials of a down-and-out riverboat
gambler, making his way upstream to a
hot poker game in Grand Rapids. Tickets
are $10 and can be purchased at the site
prior to the show.
