CULTURE + ENTERTAINMENT

Built on the very spot where Deadwood’s historic City Hall and Theatre once stood, Outlaw Square acknowledges its roots. “We’re located along Main Street, neighboring many historic buildings,” said Rock. The site is also less than 100 feet from the confluence of Whitewood Creek , City Creek , and Deadwood Creek , where gold was first discovered in Deadwood Gulch . Today, Outlaw Square stands as a testament to the city's rich past while offering a vibrant year-round venue for present-day activities. The square—designed with versatility in mind—features an outdoor stage, a glice- skating rink with ice skating and ice bumper cars, and ample space for events. “There’s always something taking place,” said Rock. The outdoor venue hosts an array of experiences geared towards diverse interests and age groups. Throughout the summer season, the square transforms into a lively venue, hosting free events nearly every day. “We offer daily programming Monday through Thursday. On the weekends, we either host individual events, or we’re tied in with a city-exclusive event,” shared Rock.

“There is so much history surrounding Outlaw Square.”
