Are there still tickets available for Yosemites Bracebridge Dinner?
As luck would have it, yes. Every December for 80 years, the dining room of the Ahwahnee Hotel at Yosemite National Park has been transformed into an 18th-century English manor for a lavish Christmas pageant and dinner based on author Washington Irving’s story “The Sketch Book.” So far, three of the eight dinners from mid-December through Christmas are sold out, and four are selling very quickly, according to Sydney Reily, PR coordinator for DNC Parks & Resorts, which manages the event. But, she says, “We have one performance, on the 18th, that – due to its location in the middle of the week prior to Christmas – has a lot of availability. That’s the one to sneak into with your last-minute ticket requests.” Ticket packages include lodging at the Ahwahnee, the Yosemite Lodge or the Wawona Hotel. Also, some dinner-only tickets will be made available for those who choose to stay elsewhere or drive in from the San Francisco Bay Area. Reservations: yosemitepark.com/events or (559) 253-5676.
