EVENTS
Almost just as important as the arts scene is the food scene. There are around 38 gourmet and ethnic food booths, and 30 artisan food and natural booths. Foodies can find a little bit of everything with a smorgasbord of festival goodies like kettle corn, fry bread, funnel cake, gelato, beef and lamb chislic, cheese curds, smoked turkey legs, cotton candy, and more. “There’s so much food to take home or nibble on here,” said Avery as she pointed to the food area. “I just saw somebody I know carry out two or three bags of kettle corn.” Free entertainment takes place on three stages: the Bandshell , Prairie Stage , and Variety Stage . The Variety Stage can be found in the Children’s Area, which includes music (i.e. Phil Baker ), activities, and crafts ranging $1 to $20 per activity. “It’s a great introduction to get kids into exploring and enjoying art,” said Avery. A few quick tips for attendees are to leave your furry friend at home (unless it’s a service animal) and to avoid finding a parking spot by hopping on the shuttle. Shuttle buses are available to get to and from Pioneer Park at the South Dakota Agricultural Museum , which runs continuously during the weekend.
