Family Friendly- An Evening of Native Storytelling
Monday August 3, 2026 7:00pm - 8:00pm MDT
Pavillion
Grab a seat by the crackling fire—or pull up a comfortable chair under the pavilion—for an unforgettable evening of Native storytelling. As twilight settles in, we will gather together to experience a rich tapestry of traditional stories brought to life by the grounding heartbeat of the hand drum and the soulful melodies of the flute. It is the perfect way to unwind after dinner, connect with the land, and let yourself be transported by songs and spoken word passed down through generations. This program is designed for all ages and will be hosted at the fire pit alongside the dinner pavilion.
