Blending historic charm and Western flair with modern outdoor art and colorful murals, Downtown Rapid City provides a unique, vibrant setting. Add in the spectacular parks and outdoor activities -- and the fact that it is a college town, home to South Dakota School of Mines & Technology -- and it's no wonder this great neighborhood is quickly growing. At the heart of downtown, the beautiful Main Street Square, with its outdoor art and fountain, is a gathering place for year-round activities.
With plenty of shops, restaurants, and galleries to explore, Downtown Rapid City always provides something to do. Some destinations include Art Alley, the Dahl Arts Center, and the Elks Theatre. Residents can learn more about Black Hills history at the Journey Museum and Learning Center, or they can spend the afternoon at Memorial Park, which features a walking trail, ponds, a fountain, a playground, and monuments. Events held downtown are plentiful and include Downtown Restaurant Week, the Great Downtown Pumpkin Festival, and the Cruiser Car Show and Street Fair.
