What a year we had for “Summer Nights: Season 13” last year. Wait, no. There was no “Season 13”. Due to the pandemic we had to cancel Summer Nights last year but our line-up is ready for 2021 and we can’t wait to see you all downtown this summer!
We are extremely disappointed to report that Summer Nights has been cancelled for 2020. We were recently notified that Special Event capacity within the city was going to be limited to 250 through the summer and therefore our permit as submitted could not be approved.
The entire world has been impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, and in recent weeks the state of South Dakota and our community has been affected. Given this information, the City’s Special Events Committee has decided to postpone all special events through June.
