The Tiny South Dakota Town That Transforms Into A Watermelon Wonderland Each Year

Watermelon lovers, unite! This town in South Dakota might be extremely small, but this annual watermelon festival in August is full of flavor. It’s filled with free watermelon, watermelon-themed activities, music, food, family entertainment, and even a car show. Head on out to Forestburg this summer and eat all of the melon you can handle.

With a population of only 70 people, Forestburg is seriously *small*.

They still know how to put on a great festival, though.

Besides the juiciest watermelon in the state, this festival includes a car show loved by all, live music, and much more.

The best part about this festival? Free watermelon!

Tractor rides are available for kids, and all proceeds from the festival go to improving Forestburg's streets.

You must sink your teeth into this awesome watermelon festival in South Dakota.
