A Destination on the Rise
There’s a lot happening in Sioux Falls, and locals know it. Now, people around the country are starting to take notice of this booming city on the prairie.
South Dakota’s largest city sits in the southeast corner of the state, near the borders of Iowa and Minnesota, and conveniently located at the junction of two major interstates, I-90 and I-29. Sioux Falls is centrally located in the Midwest, with Omaha, Minneapolis, Fargo, and Des Moines all within a four-hour drive.
The Sioux Falls Regional Airport is serviced by Allegiant, American, Delta, Frontier, and United, with direct flights from cities such as Dallas, Denver, Los Angeles, Phoenix, Nashville, Minneapolis, Chicago, Orlando, and more.
Large Event Spaces
For large floor-space needs, the Sioux Falls Convention Center offers over 50,000 square feet of exhibit hall space, along with 13 breakout meeting rooms, making for a combined 100,000 square feet.
Attached to the Sioux Falls Convention Center is 30,000 square feet at the Denny Sanford PREMIER Center and 20,000 square feet at the Sioux Falls Arena.
The Best Western Plus Ramkota Hotel & Conference Center features a variety of meeting space options including a 20,000-square-foot exhibit hall and a 11,000-square-foot ballroom.
The District is another great option with a built-in stage and seating for several hundred people. Alternatively, this facility makes for a great evening reception location, with two levels—each with a bar.
More Intimate Event Spaces
Monick Yards in downtown Sioux Falls is one of the newest event venues in the city. This beautiful space can be split into two separate areas. Similarly to The District, Monick Yards is also ideal for an evening reception, with two bars and an onsite catering kitchen.
Just down the street from Monick Yards, the Hilton Garden Inn Downtown offers over 9,000 square feet of space, including several rooms for breakout sessions. Plus, you can’t beat the patio space with views of the Big Sioux River.
A short walk from the Hilton Garden Inn Downtown is the Holiday Inn City Centre, which has multiple meeting spaces in a variety of sizes. Impress your guests with the 4,300-square-foot space on the 10th floor with panoramic views of downtown Sioux Falls.
Consider something unique, like hosting your event on stage of the 1,800-seat Mary W. Sommervold Hall at the Washington Pavilion. The stunning visuals in this venue will surely make your event shine.
After-Hours Activities
