One thing we’re thankful for this holiday weekend? Bountiful events to fill much needed time spent with family and friends! As we come out of our turkey and stuffing induced stupors Friday morning, many of us will be looking for ways to enjoy the long weekend. (Because, let’s be honest, a long weekend can turn too long without some excitement.) To make life easy, here is our rundown of all that’s going on in our building and downtown!
Friday:
The Nutcracker
With Thanksgiving marking the launch of the Holidays, many of us will be itching for some festive entertainment. Brought to us by the Black Hills Dance Theatre at 7:00pm, the Nutcracker will deliver an elegant performance of true talent and beauty, putting us all in the spirit of the season.
Rush vs. Evansville
It’s fun for the whole family; a rush of adrenaline as we cheer on our hometown team as they fight for the President’s Cup. Beginning at 7:05pm, the Rush deliver an action-packed evening of excitement for everyone.
Saturday:
Main Street Square Holiday Dedication and Celebration
Make a day of it! Saturday marks the dedication of Main Street Square, with events taking place throughout the day. Gather the whole family as a 30-foot Black Hills Spruce Holiday tree is lighted, complete with live reindeer sleigh rides. The Festival of Lights Parade will also take place at 6:00pm, showcasing a bevy of festive floats decorated by local businesses and organizations. For a complete listing of events, visit:

Country Fair
It’s the perfect time of year to indulge in handmade holiday décor for your home or business. With a variety of local vendors, grab a girlfriend and head to the Country Fair, 9am – 5pm on Saturday, and 10am – 3pm on Sunday.
The Nutcracker
In case you didn’t make it Friday evening, take in a 2:00 matinee of the spectacular show on both Saturday and Sunday.
Heaven is for Real!
At 7:00pm, make your way to the Fine Arts Theatre to hear the astounding story of a young boy’s journey to Heaven and back. It will touch your heart, and remind us all of the true meaning of the season. Enjoy free admission to this non-ticketed event.
Rush vs. Evansville
In order to accommodate patrons of both the Festival of Lights Parade and the game, the Rush will take the ice at 8:05pm on Saturday.

From all of us at the Rushmore Plaza Civic Center, we wish you a Thanksgiving weekend filled with happiness, entertainment, and a stock of turkey sandwiches!
