What You Need To Know About February First Friday and Weekend Festivities

If someone asks you if there is anything going on in Sioux Falls heading into the weekend, I want you to give them such a look, and then, point them to downtown Sioux Falls. February First Friday is this Friday (February 7) and there is a very long list of "stuff" to do!

First of all, the Sioux Falls Winter Carnival continues at locations in and around the city. The pop-up skating rink at 8th & Railroad is open Friday from 4 to 8 PM, Saturday from 10 AM to 8 PM and Sunday, noon to 8 PM. Also at 8th & Railroad, this weekend is Family SnowFest with tons of fun activities in the big heated tent, Winter Jam is there too on Saturday evening from 6 to 8 PM, Lazer Tubing at Great Bear from 9:30 to 11:30 PM and more!

Numerous downtown pubs and eateries have food and beverage specials going on. There is a Singles Date Night event at Plum's Cooking Company where you'll make and eat great food, plus meet interesting people. You'll find an art reception featuring the photography of Bradlee J.
