Buffalo Ridge Camp Resort
Saturday, October 3 | 11:00 AM–6:00 PM

One of Custer’s best fall celebrations takes over Buffalo Ridge with live music, local vendors, beer tents, a cornhole tournament, kids’ activities, bouncy houses, bonfires, pumpkin painting, caramel apples and plenty more. We’ll be tucked into the market with a table full of Fick’s Picks, making this a pretty solid excuse to spend a fall Saturday outside in the Black Hills.

Crow Peak Brewing Company, Spearfish
Saturday, October 10 | 11:00 AM–6:00 PM

Finally, a festival where pickles get the respect they deserve. Crow Peak’s 4th Annual Picklefest packs the brewery with live music, pickle tasting, games and contests, food and drink specials, and a crowd that already understands why a jar of pickles is worth getting excited about. This one feels a little like our Super Bowl.

DoubleTree by Hilton Downtown Convention Center, Rapid City
Saturday, November 7 | 9:00 AM–4:00 PM

A change of pace from beer tents and pickle contests, the Gourmet Gift Gallery is an upscale indoor vendor fair built around holiday shopping and finding something a little different. It’s a great place to knock out some Christmas shopping, and we’d argue a jar or two of locally made pickles makes a much more interesting host, teacher or foodie gift than another candle.

The Monument, Rapid City
Saturday, November 14 | 10:00 AM–4:00 PM

This is the big one you don’t want to miss - over 200 vendors! The holiday shopping season is officially on. The Winter Marketplace fills The Monument with Black Hills small businesses, boutiques, crafters, specialty foods and gift ideas all under one roof. It’s the kind of show where you can make a serious dent in your Christmas list, then stop by Fick’s Picks to handle the people on that list who would rather get something delicious than something decorative.
