Be awed by South Dakota’s larger-than-life sculptures, from the iconic Mount Rushmore National Memorial and Crazy Horse Memorial® and to the striking Dignity: Of Earth & Sky. Walk among life-sized sculptures on the City of Presidents sculpture trail, then spot colorful murals brightening the streets of Rapid City, Hot Springs, Sioux Falls and beyond. Along the way, quirky roadside attractions add a sense of discovery to any road trip.
Catch the energy of a live performance at a historic opera house or music festival, or watch a film under the stars at a classic drive-in movie theater.
Peruse authentic Native art — from hand-crafted drums to intricate beaded jewelry — in galleries, trading posts or at the renowned Red Cloud Indian Art Show. The incredible talent of South Dakota’s local artists is on display throughout the state; discover dreamlike landscapes at the Redlin Art Center, inventive welded sculptures at John Lopez Studio, mind-bending illusions at the Termesphere® Gallery and masterful wood carvings at Dahl’s Chainsaw Art.
