Our special group rate is $99/night (double occupancy). This is an excellent rate for this full service hotel during high tourist season.

Mirabeau Park Hotel is just minutes from the Buck Knives factory and will be a focal point for several of the celebration activities.

The following events will be at Mirabeau Park Hotel:

Due to space limitations at the Buck Knives factory it is possible that one or more of the seminars will also be held at the host hotel, but we are hoping that is not necessary.
