Prairiegrass Music Festival

Prairiegrass headliners

This time of the year in South Dakota we think about harvest time. We think about the abundance of food that comes off the land and the beauty of the crops, turning to a golden color. In eastern South Dakota, what we call East River, we see the tall corn, soybeans and hay fields. Western South Dakota, or West River displays wheat, small grains, cattle grazing in grass up to their bellies, and farmers harvesting the native prairie grasses.

We also think about the blessing we have for such an abundance of food, abundance of open prairie, beautiful blue sky stretching as far as you can see. The further west you get you run into the Black Hills; jutting up out of the ground, with their pine trees, creeks, rivers and lakes. In thinking about this blessing we have put together a wonderful time of enjoyment for you at the Black Hills Amphitheater in Spearfish, South Dakota. Prairiegrass is a bluegrass festival unlike what you've seen before. It will be on Saturday, the 5th of September. The gates open at noon, performances start at 1 o'clock, and continue on through dark. It will be non-stop music (alternating between the two stages), the side stage will feature progressive music, and the main stage will feature our headliners. This is a large amphitheater, holding over 5,000 people. The second stage area seats about 500 people. Due to the way it is configured, even when you sit in the small stage area you will be able to hear music from the large stage and vice versa.

Tickets in advance are $25, and the day of the show are $30. The young people are invited to bring a school ID card to receive $5 off the ticket price. Kids 12 and under are free. We know you'll enjoy yourself.

See ya @ the Amp!
