Hey hey, Rapid City — it’s time for your Weekend Rundown, and trust us when we say this one’s bursting at the seams with good times, great music, and a whole lotta heart!
Friday kicks off the party at 5:30 PM with the Lost Cabin Live Music Series, featuring none other than Ponder the Albatross. These gypsy-punk jam band wizards are landing in the taproom to deliver a blast of New-Grass energy that’ll have your toes tapping and your soul soaring. Doors open at 11 AM, with Ecuadorian street eats from Patas Azules starting at noon. Cold brews, bold tunes, and killer food — the perfect Friday trifecta.
Meanwhile, over at ABY’s, classic rock meets country swagger with Three Heavy, hitting the stage from 7 to 10 PM. And if you’re still standing by 9 PM, head to 445 Martini Lounge, where Johnny Hastings and Stillhouse Down will blow the roof off with a soul-soaked blues storm you won’t want to miss.
Saturday morning at 10 AM, all roads lead downtown for the 2nd Annual Rapid City Pride Parade. Come march, dance, and celebrate love in all its forms. It’s a vibrant, joyful reminder of what makes this community shine.
As the sun sets, settle in for patio perfection at Murphy’s, where the Tanner Johns Band hits at 9 PM with their signature good vibes and crowd-pleasing sound. Whether it’s your first drink or your last call, Murphy’s has your Saturday night soundtrack.
Or maybe… you’re feeling bold? Step into the spotlight at the Homeslice Hot Hunks Competition at Double Nickel, starting at 8 PM. Win concert tickets, score a pro photo shoot, and compete for the legendary Hot Hunk crown of 2025. Whether you’re strutting or spectating, it’s gonna be a night to remember.
We’ve also got a few honorable shoutouts:
Smith’s Liquor celebrates 20 years on Saturday — raise a glass and toast to two decades of good spirits!
And closing out the weekend in style, Whiskey Myers takes the stage at The Monument on Sunday night, bringing southern rock heat to cap off your weekend right.
That’s your Rundown, Rapid City. For more details on everything happening, visit RapidCityPost.com.
We’ll see ya out there — and probably under the moonlight.
