Spearfish City Park
The Festival in the Park is one of the largest outdoor summer arts and music festivals in the upper Midwest. The Matthews Opera House & Arts Center of Spearfish, SD, organizes this popular festival. It serves as the largest fundraiser for our non-profit organization each year. The proceeds benefit arts outreach and help produce the festival each year.
Over 25,000 people attend the festival, held every third weekend in July. This year’s festival features nearly 200 fine art, craft and food vendors!

With 18 food vendors serving an eclectic variety of cuisines, there’s something sure to please any appetite.
