Get ready for a great 3-days at the 40th Festival in the Park (FIP). Scroll down for events and entertainment line-up.
Friday Wristbands
You may pre-purchase wristbands from the Spearfish Chamber of Commerce, Visit Spearfish, Bay Leaf Cafe, and The Matthews Art Gallery. *Children ten and under are free if with a paid adult.
Of course, you can buy your wristbands at any of the park entrances and the Watering Hole Friday night.
Leave Fido at home. Woof.
Friendly reminder: No PETS are allowed on park grounds throughout the event. It is a city ordinance for these 3 days only. In previous years, the festival had pet sitting services for park patrons AND vendors. Unfortunately, the company that provided this service will not be able to do so this year. Just below is a link to a list of pet boarders. Please make plans ahead of time for your pets.

Festival Vendor Booth Map
A special Festival in the Park pullout, including the ever-popular booth map, will be distributed with the Black Hills Pioneer newspaper the week of our event. The pullout will also be available at the information booth during the entire event. The information booth is located right next to the bandshell.
PARK & RIDE – Free!
Prairie Hills Transit will be providing shuttle service to and from the festival. The shuttle is wheelchair capable. The lower Passion Play parking lot will be used as the park and ride area. It can be accessed off of Meier Avenue and will be clearly marked. The shuttle service is free and will rotate every 15 minutes. Please feel free to park and walk from this area as well.
