Roaring '20s Dinner Train

Step back in time and experience an evening of nostalgia with a Dinner Train Ride on a vintage 1920s-style rail coach through the Chehalis River Valley. You’re invited to dress up in your best Casablanca-inspired attire: think glitzy flapper dresses, dapper suits, sequins, and all the bangles. The best-dressed guest will win a prize!

Your evening begins at 4 p.m. under a grand tent, where the mood is set with music filling the air. Mingle with friends as you sip on signature cocktails, exchanging stories and laughter. Take the opportunity to pose for professional photos at the limousine photo opp. The red carpet is rolled out for your grand entrance, and with a flourish, you’ll walk to board the train for your 5 p.m. departure.

After the scenic journey & dinner, the train will return to the station, where you’ll head back to the tent for more excitement with free gambling tables. Try your luck at blackjack, roulette, or craps—no money exchanged, just the thrill of the game. 

The evening wraps up at 9 p.m., leaving you with unforgettable memories of a night steeped in glamour, camaraderie, and a touch of 1920s magic.
