History dinners: Dinners will again be available at the Sanguinetti House. For more information they should call the Sanguinetti House for dates and ticketing info. Date night dinners: a casual rustic date night dinner experience is available this year and being hosted by Naked Dates.

Save the Date

Did you know that the Yuma and Bard area helped save the Middle East’s Medjool date palms? When disease broke out in Morocco in 1927, palm shoots were brought to this area and cultivated. Some years later, new trees grown here were repatriated to Morocco to help them replenish their date groves. Now local date growers are among the top producers worldwide, even exporting our dates to the Middle East. Each year, up to 15 million pounds of premium Yuma dates are grown, harvested, and then shipped around the world. More date info and recipes can be found at NaturalDelights.com.
