Dakotafest

Dakotafest, the official annual festival of Mitchell, South Dakota, USA, features a parade, musical performances, an agricultural fair, and community celebrations.

Originating in the early 20th century, it has become Mitchell’s signature summer event, held in the neighborhoods surrounding the Corn Palace—the world’s only multi-purpose venue whose façade is adorned with corn and grain—and highlights local culture, agricultural showcases, and family-friendly entertainment.
