FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How do I redeem my meal tickets?
  • Meal tickets can be redeemed at any food vendor during the event! 
  • Each meal ticket is equivalent to $12.  
  • Meal tickets are mailed with your event tickets in mid-July. 
  • Unfortunately, our food vendors cannot give you cash back on your meal tickets, so you must use the entire ticket at the food vendor you choose. Most food vendors will have a meal deal option that is equivalent to your $12 meal ticket value. 
  • You can also use cash/card for additional purchases if you choose to eat both lunch and supper at the event or for snacks throughout the day.
How do I redeem my drink tickets?
  • Drink tickets can be redeemed at our beer garden or at the grandstand drink booths. 
  • Each ticket is worth one drink. 
  • Drink tickets are mailed with your event tickets in mid-July. 
  • You can also purchase additional drink tickets at ticketing stations in the beer garden and grandstand. 
  • Non-alcoholic drinks can be purchased at food vendors both inside and outside the grandstands, but since the value of the drink tickets far exceed the value of non-alcoholic drinks, the drink tickets can only be redeemed on alcohol. 
  • Water and pop can be purchased with meal tickets in conjunction with a meal deal at most food vendors or can be purchased with cash/card.
When can I park my camper on the fairgrounds?

Camping is only free for the two nights of our event (Friday and Saturday). If you plan to park your camper at the state fairgrounds prior to Friday, August 2nd, you must pay the State Fair Office for additional camping. Campers may pay at the payment kiosks in the campgrounds or at the South Dakota State Fairgrounds office, Monday-Friday 8 AM - 5 PM. Payment can be made by cash, check, or via credit card over the phone but cannot be done more than a week in advance of arrival. Please contact the State Fair Office for rate information at (605) 353-7340.

Can I bring a bag into the concert?

Yes! We do NOT have a clear bag policy for our event.
