Saturday night on the Town
When was the last time you had a night out on the town? … at Fort Steele Heritage Town, that is!
Well, join the good folks in town this summer for Saturday Night on the Town and enjoy the leisure of a summer evening with close family and friends, the Fort Steele way.
Your evening begins with a wonderful buffet dinner in the International Hotel, followed by a special performance of the theatre’s main stage summer production of The Great Cattle Caper. A steam train ride completes your night out with a tour round the train loop while the sun dips lower on the horizon. This all-inclusive package is being offered on Saturday nights July 20, August 10, 17, and 31 only, so you don’t want to miss out!
The International Hotel houses Fort Steele’s main, family style restaurant. Dinner for this event will be full buffet style. The International Hotel is a reconstruction of the original International Hotel that was built on the same site during Fort Steele’s boom of 1897. Interior decorations represent similar hotel décor from the era. Enjoy good home style cooking with a heritage ambience.
The Great Cattle Caper is being performed at Fort Steele’s Wild Horse Theatre this summer. Reviews have been five star! There’s a cattle rustler in town and Johnny, the ranch owner’s son, is the prime suspect. Can he find the real culprit and prove to the sheriff, and everyone else in town, that he is innocent? The Wild Horse Theatre was built in 1972 to represent a venue for turn of the century entertainment; a huge part of Fort Steele’s history.
Today, Fort Steele has revived the railway history of the region with its established steam train excursions offered daily through July and August. The railway bypassed Fort Steele in 1898 and went through Cranbrook signalling Fort Steele’s decline. By 1912, a CPR line was built in the area but it was too late to save the town. Fort Steele Heritage Town is pleased to offer train rides, with locomotive 1077, as part of its heritage experience.
Tickets for Saturday Night on the Town are only $40 for adults, $20 for children six to 12, and five years and younger pay their age. What more could you ask for a memorable way to take in one of the region’s greatest heritage destinations!
