We didn’t make history being well behaved. Deadwood events are wild. That’s why the travel website Thrillist named Deadwood one of the best party towns in America. Rodeos, food and wine festivals, songwriters festivals, professional snowmobile racing, pub crawls, and big name concerts-there’s always something happening in Deadwood. Visit the Deadwood Flickr page to see past event photos.
Come celebrate Halloween in Deadwood. Deadweird is a little crazy, a little spooky, and a WHOLE lot of fun! Make plans for the 13th annual Monster Ball on Friday, Oct. 24, 2025 with a live band and dancing; and the annual Costume Contest with more than $5,000 in cash and prizes for the best costumes on Saturday, Oct. 25, 2025. Both of these events are FREE, so come in costume or just come to watch – it is quite the sight!
