Horticulture Building

Welcome to the 2024 South Dakota State Fair Horticulture Exhibition. Horticulture exhibitor handbooks will be available for download in April.

While at the fair, stop in and check us out, we want to hear from you while you and learn what you want to see at the State Fair Horticulture Show!

The mirror room in the Horticulture Building is always decorated so beautifully!  It's the gem of the State Fair so make sure to check it out!

Stop in, look around, sit down, and strike up a conversation!  We are eager to connect with you and make your day at the fair a memorable and fun one!

The Horticulture Building is open 9 AM - 8 PM daily during the fair with daily educational programs and static exhibit displays.

Thank you to SD Corn for sponsoring the Horticulture Building!
