Events on this Day

This year's "Noel Night" will run for the month of December. With concerns over health and safety from large crowds, Local First acknowledges that continuing Noel Night as usual this year is not a responsible choice. So, we as an organization have decided to adapt! To encourage safe, social distancing, we are letting people shop when they want!   This year, your favorite local businesses will have coupons, or "vouchers" inside the annual Noel Night newspaper insert created by The Durango Herald. These vouchers can be used at your convenience so you can do your holiday shopping easily and safely! We are also going virtual for 2020 Noel Night and making shopping go virtual! There will be two options for shopping virtual this year including an online market place and virtual shoppers. We encourage you to shop local and shop safe this holiday season.

Embark on a journey to yesteryear where amazing finds you this winter season! Ride a historic steam train 26 miles each way on this 5-hour round trip train ride to Cascade Canyon. Departing from the Durango Depot, this trip takes you up into the Rocky Mountains with views of the San Juan National Forest as you travel alongside the beautiful Animas River while relaxing in heated coaches. Cascade Canyon is a destination like no other and is the perfect setting for a fire-side lunch, photo opportunities or a walk along the Animas River to the footbridge on your 45-minute layover. All trains have a concession car with a variety of snacks and drinks available for purchase.

Join us this Holiday Season and enjoy the one-of-a-kind designs of jewelry artist Michelle Tapia. Each piece is hand-carved from walrus tusk, hand-inked with whimsical motifs, and set in fine metals. Animals, nature, her Spanish upbringing and her Tibetan Buddhist philosophies inspire her.    The show continues through the holiday season, closing on December 31.

Dine is one of our historically significant rooms. We can accommodate parties of 4-10 people.   This is takeout with style, as our guests begin their journey in our Diamond Belle where they will get their temperature checked, place and pay for their order and then be escorted to a private dining space.   Guests will be given a direct line to our food and beverage team in case they need anything during their visit. Food and drink items are delivered to the entrance of the space, and guests will retrieve their items for delivery to their table. Our servers will not enter the dining space while guests occupy the space.   Menu selections are from our Mahogany Grille steak and seafood menu.   This is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Once restaurants are able to re-open to in-room dining, we will discontinue the program.   The Suite Dining is available Thursday – Sunday, 5PM – 9PM. Reservations are required by calling 970.247.4431.
