KITE FESTIVAL
The gentle sea breeze off the Sea of Cortez, white sandy beaches, and a background of mountain splendor all combine to provide a magnificent setting for the kite festival. Imagine dozens of colorful kites zipping back and forth across a clear blue sky. Whether you're a kite enthusiast or simply want to bring back your own childhood memories you certainly won't want to miss the kite festival on April 1st.

SAN FELIPE CARNAVAL CELEBRATION
During the dates of February 15th through February 20th, the San Felipe area will be celebrating Carnaval. This is similar to Mardi Gras and we even have a Mardi Gras party lined up for you on the night of February 17th at Janitor's Cantina. In town you will find parades of floats, sporting events on the beach, vendors on the Malecon and numerous taco stands. There will be a lot of festivities including live music with street dancing and rides for the children.

SELF-DRIVE CARAVANS TO THE RANCH
The Ranch offers self-drive caravans from Desert Trails RV Park in El Centro, California, to El Dorado departing at 9 a.m. every Wednesday. Caravans to the USA are each Tuesday. Besides being a fun way to meet other members, caravaning makes your first trip easier because all you need to do is follow the caravan from the border to the Ranch. It’s also comforting to know there is a fellow traveler right behind you who will stop to lend assistance in case there is a mechanical problem.

Caravan Price: $25 per vehicle

Dates:
Jan 3, Jan 10, Jan 17, Jan 24, Jan 31, Feb 7, Feb 14, Feb 21, Feb 28, Mar 7, Mar 14, Mar 21, Mar 28, Apr 4, Apr 11, Apr 18, Apr 25, May 2, May 9, May 16, May 23, May 30, Jun 6, Jun 13, Jun 20, Jun 27

JUANITO'S ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION
Juanito's Cantina is one of the most popular places at the Ranch. And each year makes another excuse to enjoy the great food and drinks as we socialize with one another. This celebration is of particular importance to El Dorado residents and guests. It was in the late 1980's that El Dorado Ranch was originally conceptualized. No one would ever imagine back then what the Ranch would ultimately develop into. One of the fondest early memories was the establishment of Juanito's Cantina. It was one of the very first significant developments at the Ranch. So each year we honor this anniversary and reminisce about the early years and look forward to future years.

PAVILION THEME DINNERS
About once a month Executive Chef, Martin Colman, puts on a culinary experience not to be missed. Special dinners are served to honor an occasion or a historical event. Not only will you learn about history you will taste it as Chef Colman serves up the cuisine featured at the historical event. These events sell out fast so make sure to get reservations well in advance. Mark your calendars for Jan 1, Jan 11, Feb 1, Feb 14, Feb 25, Mar 15, Apr 5, Apr 8, May 3, May 13, May 24, Jun 14 and Jun 17 for special occasions at the Pavilion.
