Annual Festival in the Park

The Annual Festival in the Park is one of the largest outdoor summer arts festivals in the upper Midwest. It is sponsored by the Matthews Opera House & Arts Center (a non-profit organization), and all proceeds are used to produce the annual festival and assist other arts activities in the greater Spearfish area. Activities run 4-10 p.m. on Friday, 9 a.m.-8 p.m. on Saturday, and 10 a.m.-4 p.m. on Sunday. Celebrating its 45th year in 2023. Free admission on Saturday and Sunday. (Friday night is $5 Wristband Night.)

What is $5 Wristband Night?

You get to preview & buy from your favorite vendors a day ahead!
The Watering Hole is open and will have 2 great musical groups performing from 4 pm to 10 pm. Only folks with wristbands get to enjoy these bands.
