A magical & secretive portal resonant to the vibrations of the earth at the intersection of nature & celebration. Palapa is the main event space at Upper Buena Vista beneath a majestic tiki, surrounded by lush tropical trees, a place to celebrate the essence of life. It provides shade, shelter from rain and becomes a gateway during live music performances and evenings of culture. Palapa was built by Seminole tribe members using ancestral traditions and techniques.
