Halloween is coming… are you ready? Unfortunately for adults, trick or treating is generally looked down upon (when you don’t have kids, that is!), and you can only watch the same 80s slasher flicks so many times, so what is a Halloween lover to do? Why make reservations to attend Deadweird – AKA the most epic Halloween party in both South Dakota and the entire Midwest – of course!

Taking place October 29th and the 30th (2021), Deadweird is “How Deadwood does Halloween,” and it is as weird and wacky as you could imagine.

Billed as being a “little crazy, a little spooky and a WHOLE lot of fun,” Deadweird offers 2 completely different itineraries for each evening, beginning with a Monster Ball on Friday night that includes live music, dancing, a costume contest, and other surprises!
