The Festival in the Park is one of the largest outdoor summer arts and music festivals in the upper Midwest. The Matthews Opera House & Arts Center of Spearfish, SD, organizes this popular festival. It serves as the largest fundraiser for their non-profit organization each year. The proceeds benefit arts outreach in our community and beyond.

Over 25,000 people attend the festival, held every third weekend in July. The festival features over 200 fine art and craft vendors with an emphasis on handmade and original products.
