Happy Holidays from the Pierre Convention and Visitors Bureau!

It would be our pleasure to invite you to spend part of your holidays in Pierre.

Pierre offers several excellent attractions that you may want to visit in addition to the Christmas Trees at the Capitol. The Cultural Heritage Center will have their historic homes gingerbread replicas in their lobby again this year and the National Guard Museum will host the Fallen Heroes banners.

We have a wide variety of dining options, everything from mouth watering steaks to creative continental cuisine. You can be welcomed at the Pierre Mall with cookies and cider or shop Downtown amongst the stores that make Pierre unique.

The following pages have further details on each of the attractions in Pierre, the community events throughout Pierre, the places to eat and the places to stay. Call us now to let us know when you will be in our Capital City.

We look forward to you accepting our invitation.

Best Regards,

Pierre Convention and Visitors Bureau Director
