PIERRE — A record 22,590 visitors attended the 58th Annual Buffalo Roundup at Custer State Park last week, according to the South Dakota Department of Game, Fish and Parks.

Custer State Park also hosted its three-day arts festival in conjunction with the Buffalo Roundup. Crowds assembled throughout the celebration to enjoy a variety of entertainment under the big top, educational programs, and vendors from all over the country.

The annual roundup serves as a tool to help manage the park’s buffalo herd.

Approximately 500 bison will be sold at the park’s annual auction on Nov. 4. For more information on the auction, contact the park at 605-394-2693 or email CusterStatePark@state.sd.us.

Next year’s Buffalo Roundup will be Sept. 27, 2024.
