Summer is full of activities in and around the Black Hills region and the month of July is no exception. The fun begins with a weeklong celebration around Independence Day with the Black Hills Roundup and continues into the following weekend with the Heart of the Hills Parade & Logging Show.
July 3-6 is the Black Hills Roundup in Belle Fourche where thousands of local residents, as well as people from across the country and abroad, come to help celebrate the 4th of July. This oldest continuously-held outdoor rodeo in America is one of the great local pastimes and is great entertainment for the entire family.
This event features top-ranked cowboys and cowgirls competing in barrel races, bareback riding, steer wrestling, bull riding, team roping and more. This year’s world-class livestock will again be provided by Hank and Lori Franzen of Powder River Rodeo and D&H Cattle Company.
The festivities don’t end there. The whole family can also enjoy a week-long carnival, a mile-long parade, BBQ, the Miss Rodeo South Dakota contest and a huge Independence Day fireworks display!
On Saturday July 12, 2014 you can help Hill City celebrate with the Heart of the Hills Parade & Logging Show. Don’t miss the parade that starts at 9am on historic Main Street Then stick around for the logging show at Noon at the Chute Rooster Amphitheater grounds. The logging show is an annual must-see with an exciting axe throw, Choker race, pole tosses, tree falling, logging truck events and more.
Bring your lawn chairs, picnic blanket and umbrella’s to enjoy the show. Bring water to stay hydrated in the heat but enjoy the plethora of local food vendors that will be at the event. Keep the kids busy looking for coins in the sawdust pile.
