By Annie | Published December 21, 2020

South Dakota manages to come to life and twinkle all the more during Christmastime, but there are still certain communities that stand out as being the most festive of all. While it was hard to pin down just one, we cannot help but think that you will agree with us in naming Pierre the twinkliest town in South Dakota:

You have visited the Capitol building, the Cultural Heritage Center, and other famous and historical sites around Pierre, but until you have visited during Christmastime, you have yet to truly experience this magical town!

What makes our state capital so twinkly and festive? It begins with the fabulous Christmas at the Capitol, which takes place every year from late November through Christmas and features 100+ trees decorated by community organizations, businesses, schools, and churches.

After taking in Christmas at the Capitol, you will want to check out special events around town that include everything from a meet-and-greet with Santa and his reindeer to the annual Christmas Tree Lighting & Cowboy Christmas to lunch with Santa and Parade of Lights.

What's a Christmas town without decorated homes and businesses? This year, the Pierre Chamber of Commerce is even hosting a Light Up the Pierre Area light competition, making the entire city all the more colorful.

While you're out and about, don't forget to shop local to not only support the community but find the best gifts!

No matter where you visit in Pierre, you are sure to find it adorned in lights, holly, garland, and/or other festive decorations.
