First Fridays Market

The First Friday of every Summer month (Jun-Sept) comes alive in Downtown Spearfish. Live music fills the street and Local Artists show off their talent. From painters to sculptors, photographers to carvers, there is something for every taste. Speaking of taste, be sure to visit the Farmers Market featuring the best local grown produce and regionally harvested fruit. Bring the kids - we'll have a Moonwalk-Castle Bouncer each night. Bring the adults - we have special glasses for a cold beer to be enjoyed on the street listening to the music.

We have our best line-up ever and are look forward to great entertainment and family fun.

Holidazzle Light Parade and Chil Feed

The brightest event ever to hit the downtown area is the Black Hills Corp and Black Hills Power and Light sponsored Holidazzle Light Parade. Held the 2nd Friday of every December, the Holidazzle Parade attracts over 40 illuminated floats and awards prizes in 3 categories. Immediately following the parade is the community chili feed, where the Downtown Merchants show their appreciation for your patronage by offering a free chili feed to the public. Pepsi Cola joins in the efforts by providing the soda for the event, and the downtown restaurants The Bay Leaf Cafe extends their efforts in making the chili. It's our gift to the community and truly a wonderful event to be a part of - we hope you can join us!
