DOWNTOWN AT SUNDOWN CELEBRATES 10 YEARS OF MUSIC, COMMUNITY, AND SUMMER FUN

Brookings, S.D. — 06/02/2025 — The Brookings Area Chamber of Commerce is excited to announce that Downtown at Sundown is back for its tenth summer of their free concert series in Downtown Brookings. Every Thursday night from July 24 through August 21, the Brookings Area Chamber of Commerce invites the community to enjoy free family fun from 5:30 pm - 9:00 pm on Main Ave with live music, food and beverages, and free activities, all made possible with the generous support of the event’s Headliner Sponsor, First Bank & Trust.

“The success of Downtown at Sundown is a testament to the strong community spirit and the Chamber's dedication to bringing people together,” says Tom Fishback, Market President for First Bank & Trust. “At First Bank & Trust, we are deeply committed to the communities we serve and are proud to continue supporting this wonderful event year after year."

Downtown at Sundown aims to create a fun-for-all-ages event that brings people together to celebrate our community. The 2024 series welcomed just over 15,000 residents and visitors. Each week features a different band, while food vendors, activity stations, and retail booths offer a little something for everyone.
