Pageantry in motion: Bracebridge Dinner at Yosemite

Do you have the Peacock Pie ready for Christmas dinner?

No, this wasn’t the scene at the splashy Vegas opening Monday night of Steve Wynn’s Encore hotel.

Rather it’s the 81-year-old December tradition at Yosemite National Park known as the Bracebridge Dinner.

Part pageantry, part exotic dining, Bracebridge is served at the formidable Ahwahnee hotel from mid- to late December.

Take a look at the wonders of Bracebridge in photographs.
