MOOSE, Wyo. — Yesterday, the Jackson Hole Hootenanny kicked off the summer season in its traditional venue at Dornan’s Chuckwagon in Grand Teton National Park.

The Hootenanny began in the 1950s and continues to be a home for some of Jackson’s best musicians. Every Monday night, acoustic musicians will play under the pavilion from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. Food and beverages will be served until 8 p.m.

Concertgoers can sit at the tables provided or bring their own lawn chairs.

The Hoot is open to all players who wish to sign up upon arrival for one or two songs.

In October 2021, the Monday night gig moved from Dornan’s to The Wort due to staffing shortages. Prior to the move to the Wort, the Hootenanny was played at Dornan’s for nearly 30 years.

She's a lover of alliteration, easy-to-follow recipes and board games when everyone knows the rules. Her favorite aspect about living in the Tetons is the collective admiration that Wyomingites share for the land and the life that it sustains.
