Mystic Echos: A Culinary Feast of Flavors & Dance

Under the vast, starry skies of Santa Fe, we invite you to join us each week for an evening that honors our local Native American heritage. You’ll be immersed in a journey into our community’s rich past, offering a profound connection to the spirit of Indigenous people. And you won’t find it anywhere else in Santa Fe.

• Enjoy two and a half hours immersed in the essence of Indigenous culture through traditional dances and authentic cuisine.

• Feast on a unique five-course, Indigenous-infused meal gifted to us by James Beard award-winning Chef, Sean Sherman, also known as "The Sioux Chef".

• Experience ancient dance and traditions through the dance troupe of Artistic Director Sonwai – a world championship hoop dancer and nine-year performer in Cirque du Soleil.

Adult Admission is $150 per person and includes admission to the LIVE show, a five course meal + Non-Alcoholic Beverages (alcoholic beverages billed separately). You can choose a meat, fish, or vegan/vegetarian entree when purchasing your tickets. A children's menu option is available for $65 per child.
