A Tradition Unlike any other

Madrigal Dinner is an event that defies description. It is part concert, part history lesson, part dining experience, part comedy routine, and so much more. But there is one thing that Madrigal Dinner is for sure: completely transportive.

Transportive to not just another place, but another time. A time of knights and knaves, of wizards and jesters, and of Kings and Queens.

Whether joining us for Friday's lighter celebration or Saturday's traditional feast, prepare for an unforgettable evening of music, laughter, and Christmas merriment!
