The Visit Brookings office, along with local attractions, businesses and organizations, is gearing up for three days of winter fun during the 11th annual Frost Fest, taking place February 14–17, 2025. This community tradition offers a mix of indoor and outdoor activities at locations throughout Brookings, with many events available at no or low cost.

Frost Fest is all about celebrating the season and embracing the chill! Highlights include an indoor farmers market featuring 28 local vendors at the South Dakota Agricultural Heritage Museum, a Frost Fest Art Market at the Brookings Arts Council and family-friendly favorites like Winter Prairie Play and the Snow Ball at the Children’s Museum of South Dakota. Sports enthusiasts can test their skills at the Frost Fest Golf Lessons at Tee’d Off and Frost Fest Learn to Curl hosted by the Brookings Curling Club. And that’s just the beginning— there’s frosty fun everyone!

Held annually on the third weekend in February, Frost Fest is made possible through the collaboration of local partners, including the Brookings Arts Council, South Dakota Agricultural Heritage Museum, Brookings Farmers Market, Children’s Museum of South Dakota, South Dakota Art Museum, McCrory Gardens, Brookings Parks, Recreation & Forestry Department, Brookings Curling Club, Tee’d Off Golf Simulators and Visit Brookings.

Our Little STEAMers Preschool is based on the Montessori principles that children learn best when they are given the freedom to move, to choose their own work, and follow their interests, operating within boundaries that include respect for themselves, others, and their environment. In Little STEAMers Preschool students learn through guided exploration and build skills with independent hands-on learning. Using Montessori methods, our teachers progress students’ exploration skills and use a complete preschool curriculum to develop students’ understanding of STEM concepts (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) and communication (language arts & literacy).

Fee: $1,064.25 per semester for South Dakota Discovery Center Members
