The Bracebridge Dinner has been a Yosemite tradition since 1927. Over 100 players transform The Ahwanee Hotel dining room into a 17th century English manor for a three-hour pageant of classic carols, Renaissance rituals, music and food, acting as the Squire and his family, their servants, the Lord of Misrule, minstrels and other characters. We think it's one of the most fun ways to celebrate the holidays that you'll find anywhere in the state.
