Just like in the Old West, Custer State Park staff, cowboys and cowgirls saddle up to move Custer State Park’ s 1,500 bison to the buffalo corrals. The Roundup is held the last Friday of September every year. The event is open to public viewing with hundreds of buffalo stampeding over the hilltop and running right past. Preceding roundup day, there are arts festival events and activities in the park for three days. You can even try your hand at a“ buffalo chip flip.”

Sturgis Motorcycle Rally
The annual Sturgis Motorcycle Rally and its sister rally, Custer Cruisin’, bring thousands of motorcycle enthusiasts to the Black Hills for one week toward the end of summer. All of the towns in the Black Hills are bikerfriendly. The Black Hills offers rides and venues not seen at other rallies and bikers fall in love with the area, coming back again and again. But any time is perfect for riding a motorcycle through the Black Hills.
