Salute to Ellsworth

Since 1942, Ellsworth Air Force Base has been an integral part of the Box Elder community. Each September, the community and the Air Force come together to celebrate that bond and show our appreciation for the men and women of Ellsworth. The annual event is held at Box Elder City Hall and around town and includes a car show at the South Dakota Air and Space Museum, a parade, live music, food trucks, vendors, kids activities, and a fireworks showcase to end the day. Join us for a day of community, patriotism, and fun—and don't forget to bring your lawn chairs.
