North Dakota has a unique attraction that you probably won't find in the same combination anywhere else in the world. This timeless summer activity is one that many people have done, people who have traveled from all over the world: the epic Medora Musical and Pitchfork Fondue! Everyone should experience it at least once if possible - and personally, it's one of our favorite must-do summer activities. It is part of the "NoDak" experience at this point and will be for many years to come. Prepare for dinner and a show out in one of the prettiest places in the state right here with a taste of Pitchfork Steak Fondue:
Where else can you get amazing views with your dinner than in Medora, North Dakota? This scenic sight is from right on the Tjaden Terrace in the wild west tourist town.
The terrace is used for the Pitchfork Steak Fondue, an optional dinner experience you can get with the famous Medora Musical.
The Medora Musical is held every year during the summer and includes both live music and live reenactments, as well as fireworks, backstage tours, and so much more.
The name Pitchfork Steak Fondue is quite literal, as you'll be served steak that was cooked fondue-style on real, actual pitchforks.
Though a bit unusual, the resulting steak is absolutely delicious and you'll enjoy it outside with a view of the badlands.
You can get all sorts of sides and fixings as well as some other meat options besides steak. It's an amazing meal and certainly one of a kind!
After the meal, you can head over to the musical, which is entirely outdoors and set with a backdrop of the painted canyons.
You'll likely spot an elk herd cresting the hill just behind the stage as the sun starts to set. It is a magical moment that visitors never forget.
The Medora Musical is legendary and features a full, talented cast, wonderful music, and impressive sequences.
From beginning to end you'll be enraptured by the tale of Medora, Theodore Roosevelt's love of the area, and the amazing visuals all in front of a natural backdrop.
You really can't go wrong with the unique meal and spectacular show that the Pitchfork Steak Fondue and Medora Musical has to offer. There just isn't anything else that compares!
Every year as summer approaches, the Medora Musical begins setting up for another great year, and that means Pitchfork Steak Fondue is on the horizon! Visit the official Medora website for information on tickets, season dates, musical times, and more.
Medora is popular not just for its musical, history, and food; it is also perfect due to its location right next to Theodore Roosevelt National Park. It's North Dakota's only national park and an amazing one at that. It's definitely worth a visit!
