Hey hey, Rapid City — it’s Zaccy Moon & Stitch coming in hot with your Weekend Rundown, and this one’s overflowing with local talent, tasty eats, and a little sand between your toes (yes, really).
Friday kicks off with elegance at the Dahl Fine Arts Center as the Student Spotlight concert begins at 6 PM. This free performance showcases young virtuosos on piano, violin, and viola, all under the guidance of master instructors Mila Belakova, Katie Smirnova, and Brett Walfish. It’s a chance to witness the future of classical music, right here in the Hills.
Prefer something more laid-back? Slide into Murphy’s Pub & Grill at 6 PM for a cozy acoustic evening with Ansley Fain and Woody Earwood. The Georgia-based duo brings soul-stirring originals and familiar covers, guaranteed to melt away the week.
Over at ABY’s Feed & Seed, Benny Bassett is bringing the feels with back-to-back shows Friday and Saturday at 7 PM. Known for his deeply personal lyrics and award-winning album What You Believe, Bassett’s live set is both a journey and a vibe. Don’t miss standout tracks like Live Where You Love the Sky.
Saturday heats up with the Black Hills Food Truck Festival at Black Hills Harley-Davidson. Over 30 food trucks will be serving up their best, while a beer garden, live DJ, and even flash tattoos add to the sensory overload. Live music from Flannel turns up the volume for what promises to be one of the tastiest events of the season.
And just when you thought the weekend was winding down… Murphy’s is back at it Sunday night for the 2nd Annual Beach Party Patio Opener! Starting at 9 PM, it’s beachwear, yard games, drink specials, and the high-energy sounds of High Rise lighting up the patio. No sand? No problem. Just bring the vibes.
It’s all happening right here in the Black Hills — and you can find full event details at rapidcitypost.com. We’ll see you in the moonlight.
