Deadwood Events are the Best Parties Around
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.
Mardi Gras 2026
Don’t miss the best Mardi Gras celebration north of the Bayou! Come to Deadwood, South Dakota, for a weekend full of free food, a parade, a masquerade ball, themed cocktails, and music. Plus, there are special open container zones where you can roam from one Deadwood bar to the next (beer and wine only).
For more info on any events, call the Deadwood Chamber at 1-800-999-1876. This is one of our most popular parties.
