The Wild Table: A Midsummer Night's Dream
About this Event
The first Wild Table Gathering has arrived.
Inspired by Shakespeare’s magical play, A Midsummer Night’s Dream transforms the forests of Eklutna Valley into a midsummer woodland unlike anything you have experienced. Lantern light dancing through the boughs, long tables dressed in woodland florals, a feast worthy of an enchanted night, and forest fairies who may or may not have had a hand in every last detail. Where magic and nature intertwine, and every bite is a dream.
This is a story you accidentally stepped into.

The Evening
6:00 PM — Arrival & Woodland Cocktail Hour
Upon your arrival at BlueWater BaseCamp, you will be welcomed under the Alaska sky. A complimentary cocktail or mocktail starts the evening in the forest. Enjoy hors d’oeuvres crafted from fresh, locally sourced Alaskan ingredients, and a bar with curated beverages designed for the evening.
7:00 PM — Dinner at the Wild Table
Settle in at the beautifully designed gathering place, set around the theme of the evening and surrounded by the forests surrounding BlueWater BaseCamp. Chef Lamar will step forward and walk you through the menu as the first course arrives. Enjoy a complimentary glass of wine poured as the meal begins. A three course feast unfolds — each dish thoughtfully built around the season, the story, and the land that surrounds your table. The bar is available all evening for additional drinks.
After Dinner — The Fire Closes the night
As the meal closes, the evening moves deeper into the forest. Guests gather around the fire, drinks still in hand, as the night finds its slowest, most beautiful pace. The curated bar remains open until 9:00 PM, and the conversations continue long into the Alaskan night. The evening winds down naturally around 10:00 PM.
Tickets with lodging include check-in at 4pm so you can prep on-site for the event.

“I know a bank where the wild thyme blows,
Where oxlips and the nodding violet grows,
Quite over-canopied with luscious woodbine,
With sweet musk-roses and with eglantine.”
— A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Act II
The forest is ready. Your seat is waiting. We are honored to welcome you to the first Wild Table Gathering.
