We all know “The 605” is a great place to live and play. South Dakota is one of only 12 states in America to have a single area code. Over the years, the popularity of using 605 in advertising and casual lingo has grown to become a part of our state culture. The Department of Tourism is celebrating 605 Day on Saturday, June 5, 2021 (6/05), and we would love for you to celebrate with us.
HOW ARE WE CELEBRATING?
- We are hosting a virtual 605 Scavenger Hunt on our social media channels to engage our audience and get them excited for the big day.
- We are posting photos and video from around the state to encourage our audience to share why the 605 is such a great place to visit or call home.
- We created a special 605 Day page on TravelSouthDakota.com.
HOW CAN YOU PARTICIPATE?
