Blog: Big Memories

Start a new adventure with your loved one by joining a remarkable tradition at Black Hills Playhouse.

Find yourself surrounded by laughter, live music, and thrilling atmosphere of the most anticipated event of the summer –Summer Nights. 

Rapid City is minutes away from the Black Hills and all the outdoor adventure that it holds for you and your family. You don’t even have to leave city limits to climb or ride your way to an extraordinary view!

One of the worst floods in U.S. history descended on the Black Hills of South Dakota in the middle of the night on June 9, 1972. In the aftermath, the community gathered to rebuild, and today you can visit local parks and museum exhibits to learn more about the unforgettable impact this flood had on Rapid City.

When it comes to big adventures, Rapid City has them. I’m talking everything from a climb behind the famous Mount Rushmore National Memorial, to prehistoric dinosaurs at Skyline Wilderness Area, and everything in-between. When I say big adventures, I mean it.
