Real America Birthday Bash Festival

America turns 250, and there is no better place to celebrate than Downtown Rapid City. Join a multi-day free festival filled with hometown pride, community spirit, and the kind of moments that bring people together. Expect a full lineup of live music, a vibrant parade through downtown streets, local food trucks, a lively Kids Zone, a 5K through Downtown Rapid City, and unforgettable nights capped with fireworks, a spectacular drone show lighting up the Black Hills sky, and regionally renowned concerts headlined by country superstar Chancey Williams and local icon Brandon Jones.
Fans of Rapid City’s beloved Great Downtown Pumpkin Festival will recognize the familiar footprint. The celebration stretches from Main Street Square to the bandshell at Memorial Park Bandshell near The Monument, creating a vibrant corridor of activity through the heart of the city. Along the way, explore local vendors, lively beer gardens, Touch-A-Truck experiences, live entertainment, Kids and Game Zones, and plenty more surprises waiting around every corner.
