Most are at the Rushmore Plaza Civic Center but the mid-July show takes place outdoors in pretty Canyon Lake Park. Crafters come from all over the country, and local and regional artisans participate. This is the largest indoor craft show in the area and it's been a popular annual event for 20 years. Sometimes there is informal musical entertainment, and homemade baked goods and candy are available from vendors. You'll find the newest craft and gift trends here, as well as old favorites.
Admission is free, although vendors pay for their booth space.
April Easter Egg Hunts and Festivities Many Black Hills towns celebrate Easter and the pending arrival of spring weather with Easter egg hunts and other activities. Most are small community celebrations and, thus, aren't planned as organized annual events, but we mention them here because they're fun, especially for children. Check local papers and visitor publications for current information. This is a very special event held at all 38 South Dakota state parks and recreation areas. This event is held the weekend before Memorial Day, and from Saturday morning through Sunday evening, there is no charge for park entrance and fishing licenses are not required.
