📣 Important Announcement from Rapid City Heritage Festival! 📣

​We have made a strategic decision to focus all our efforts and resources into making our annual Rapid City Heritage Festival the very best event it can be for our community!

​To achieve this goal of delivering an unparalleled experience, we have decided to consolidate our endeavors into a single, major event.

​What this means: We will no longer be assisting with the organization or ex*****on of the Businessmen's Kids Christmas event.

​We understand this may be news to some, and we wanted to share this decision publicly to ensure there is no confusion within our community.
​Our commitment to celebrating and showcasing Rapid City's rich heritage remains stronger than ever! We look forward to seeing you all at our Pancakes with Santa event.
