Bierbörse Festival
October 11, 2025 | 12:00-5:00 p.m.
Main Street Square
Get ready to raise your steins and dive into a celebration like no other! Main Street Square's 15th annual Bierbörse is set to return this October, right in the heart of Downtown Rapid City. It's not just a German beer fest; it’s an experience bursting with culture, fun, and unforgettable flavors.
Find a fantastic variety of brews just waiting to be savored. Feeling adventurous? Dive into the unique beer stock exchange, where prices rise and fall based on crowd demand — turning each sip into a thrilling experience.
Craving some authentic German cuisine? We've got that too, along with live music that'll keep your toes tapping and solo yard games to enjoy. The event is designed with two designated areas — one for tasting and another for the beer stock exchange — so you can easily navigate your way to your next adventure.
This event is strictly 21+. Valid ID required for alcohol consumption. Main Street Square promotes responsible drinking.

Are pets allowed on the Square?
We are sure your pet is always on its best behavior, but for the safety of park visitors, please leave your dog at home. Service animals are welcome.
Where can I park downtown?
Parking in Downtown Rapid City is conveniently straightforward. We have an array of options to suit all visitor needs. Public parking is readily available in the city parking ramp located adjacent to Main Street Square. This is a paid parking option, with the fees set at $1 per hour Monday-Saturday on the main floor.
Additionally, Rapid City offers metered street parking spaces spread throughout the downtown area. If you're in need of a guide to locate these spots we recommend downloading the Park Smarter app which allows you to pay-as-you-go for metered parking. Search your app store for "parksmarter" to download the app. You can find more about this here.
Lastly, there are some streets outside of Main St. and Saint Joseph St. within the downtown district that offer free parking. Do keep an eye out for the two-hour parking limit signs though.

Is the event limited to those 21 and older?
Yes. This is one of the only events at Main Street Square that is only for those 21 years of age or older. You must have a valid ID to enter.
What if I just want to join the event but not drink?
There are multiple pass options for the event. You can either purchase a full-access tasting pass or just the cover charge which will get you access to the event and the beer stock exchange.
Be Responsible. Spend The Night.
