South Dakota State Fair

The South Dakota State Fair has a long and storied history, dating back to its inception in 1885. In 1905, the South Dakota State Fair moved to its current location in Huron, where it continues to thrive to this day. The fairgrounds span over 200 acres and feature state-of-the-art facilities, exhibition halls, and entertainment venues. Every year, the fairgrounds come alive with the sights, sounds, and smells of the South Dakota State Fair.

One of the highlights of the South Dakota State Fair is the incredible lineup of live music. From country and rock to pop and hip-hop, the fair offers a diverse range of musical genres to cater to all tastes. Renowned artists and up-and-coming talents take the stage, creating an electrifying atmosphere that will leave you dancing and singing along.

The Grandstand Stage requires a ticket but there are 4 other stages that are free with general admission to the fair; Centennial Stage, DeSmet Farm Mutual Insurance Stage, Farm Bureau Dakotaland Stage, and NorthWestern Energy Freedom Stage.
