6 Fall Black Hills Bucket List Events

Author: Kiara Poitra, Receptionist & Event Coordinator

 

Fall is one of my favorite seasons of the year. All the things that come with it are just amazing. Colder weather, warm drinks, delicious treats, and fun events! Certain events help get everyone in the Black Hills to get into the fall mood. I personally have some events on my fall bucket list. Here are a few events in the Black Hills that are perfect for your fall/Halloween schedules:

 

Sturgis Fall City-Wide Yard Sale

The Sturgis City-Wide Yard Sale is an event that the Sturgis Chamber does every year. This event has a comprehensive map of over fifty-yard sales happening around town.

Spearfish Corn Maze 

The Spearfish Corn Maze has had me dreaming for years! They are open mid-September through October every year. This year, they are open September 11th-October 31st. Their hours vary based on day, and month. Not only do they have the maze and the pumpkin patch, but they also have a special event happening called Music at the Patch! Music starts at 2:00 with Lacy Nelson and Jalan Crossland. The last night that they’re open, they do a scare maze. Be prepared to scream! Click below for more information on this event.
