Are you a Black Hills native or plan to visit the area this Christmas? If you answered yes to either, you will be celebrating in the most beautiful place on earth, thanks to both our landscape and festive events. Not sure where to begin? We recommend beginning with the iconic and oh-so magical Custer Christmas Parade:

Located in - you guessed it! - Custer, the aptly named Custer Christmas Parade is a southern Black Hills tradition that has been dazzling and delighting guests of all ages for years.

What is a Christmas parade without jolly old St. Nicholas? The Custer Christmas Parade will have him (and the Mrs.), too!

After Santa Claus comes down Santa Claus lane (or, in this case, Mt. Rushmore Road), please join him at Way Park for everyone’s favorite: the Memorial Tree Lighting Ceremony.
