Bierbörse Festival
October 3, 2026 | 1:00-5:00 p.m.
Main Street Square
Raise a stein to fall in Downtown Rapid City. Main Street Square’s 17th annual Bierbörse returns this October, bringing a lively celebration of beer, food, music, and a little friendly competition to the heart of the city.
Sample your way through a variety of brews in the tasting area, then head to the beer stock exchange, where drink prices rise and fall with crowd demand. Keep an eye on the board, time your order right, and see where the market takes you.
Pair your pour with a meal from a food truck, settle in for live music, or challenge yourself to yard games between rounds. With dedicated areas for tastings and the beer stock exchange, it’s easy to explore the festival at your own pace.
Come for the beer. Stay for the energy of a crisp October day in the heart of Downtown Rapid City.
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.
