Experience the iconic Buffalo Roundup at Custer State Park's annual event. Held each September, visitors can witness the park's herd of approximately 1,500 bison being corralled by cowboys and cowgirls on horseback.
This fall, see all the color and wonder the Black Hills and Badlands have to offer with these spectacular events.
Festivals with beer, pumpkins, music, and marathons dot all over the Hills. Join in the variety of Halloween entertainment and celebrations of Lakota culture to carve out a fantastic fall season.
September
In September, school buses flood the street once again as we transition away from summer, but the fun doesn't end in the fall. It's the perfect time for festivals, pumpkins, buffalo roundups, hiking, and more. Take a look at the September events blog to see a full list of events in the first month of fall.
October
October is the month of roasting pumpkin seeds and decorating everything with fake cobwebs. The Black Hills and Badlands will be full of spooky delights, lit up in splendid shades of autumn as the days get colder.
Powwows, parades, fall hiking, and great outdoor events tie up the season before things begin to frost over.
