The time has come again for the Black Hills Stock Show & Rodeo® in Rapid City, South Dakota from January 29-February 6, 2021! Celebrating all their years of wild western action, Rapid City, South Dakota is ready to go as they prepare for the 2021 Black Hills Stock Show and Rodeo® where rodeo and stock show fans alike to come on out and “Do Big Things!”
With a history rich in farming and ranching and originating from an idea to protect and honor agriculture communities, the Black Hills Stock Show and Rodeo® was born. With humble beginnings in 1958, members of the Rapid City Chamber Ag Committee aimed to combine the rural lifestyle with the quickly growing urban community of Rapid City. Starting out as a stock show showcasing only three breeds of cattle (Angus, Hereford, and Shorthorn,) the “Winter Show,” as it was originally called, made a splash in Rapid City and continued to grow and thrive. Each year saw great improvement as more breeds of cattle were added to the lineup. In 1966, the Winter Show received the new name, The Black Hills Stock Show® when ownership of the event was passed on to Central States Fair, INC. It wasn’t until 1978 that the first “Winter Rodeo” occurred in conjunction with the stock show.
Since its conception in 1958, the Black Hills Stock Show & Rodeo® has blossomed into a full-fledged extravaganza. With all the fun starting on January 29, there is so much going it is hard to pick one thing! Here are just a few things going on…
