The Black Hills Stock Show & Rodeo® is described as a nine-day gathering with livestock, horse and rodeo events alongside vendor shopping and entertainment—not as a single rodeo program. The 2027 run is listed for Jan. 29–Feb. 6 at The Monument.
The event account traces the show to a discussion in a laundromat involving the Rapid City Chamber Ag Committee. It describes the purpose as preserving South Dakota’s western heritage while bringing rural lifestyles into Rapid City’s urban community.
That purpose helps make sense of the varied event description: agricultural competitions sit alongside shopping and entertainment. The listing presents the show as a gathering with several strands, rather than a rodeo alone.

The event listing calls the show South Dakota’s second-largest event after the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally and cites an estimated 331,000 attendees from a 13-state region. It does not identify a year for that estimate, so it is context about the show’s reported reach—not an attendance forecast for the 2027 dates.
