Thanksgiving Day Buffet
November 26 @ 12:00 pm - 7:00 pm
There are few places as magical to gather for Thanksgiving as the Sierra. As towering pines settle into the quiet of late autumn and Yosemite’s landscape takes on the colors of the season, Tenaya invites you to celebrate around a table made for togetherness.
Set within our Grand Ballroom, this Thanksgiving buffet blends beloved traditions with thoughtful culinary touches. Wander from classic holiday favorites to seasonal chef-inspired creations, enjoy hand-carved specialties from the carving station and let little ones discover a buffet crafted just for them. Throughout the afternoon, live holiday music fills the room, creating a warm, festive atmosphere that feels as memorable as the meal itself.
It’s a Thanksgiving designed to be savored—where every plate is shared, every conversation lingers a little longer and every moment becomes part of your Yosemite story.
