Dreamland Safari Tours · 25th Anniversary · Kanab

Community Events

Three free events · RSVP for any of them

Dreamland Safari Tours turns twenty-five this year, and we would like to spend part of November with the people who got us here: our guests, our neighbors in Kanab, and our friends.

So we are hosting three free community events. Two Friday evenings at the Dreamland Office, with films and stories from Paul and from Sunny, who between them have spent a lifetime on rock, ice and trail. And one Saturday night party on the stage at the Best Friends Roadhouse, with live music, a food truck and the live drawing for our anniversary giveaway.

Come to one, two or all three. Pick the events you want below, tell us how many are coming, and we will email you a confirmation.

All free. Please RSVP so we know how many chairs to set out.

Dancing on the lawn, 20th anniversary, 2021. Yes, that's Paul in there. No, that's not Sunny: she was probably behind the camera.
