Celebrate Our Great State

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 Sunday, June 5, 2022 (6/05), and we would love for you to celebrate with us.
 

HOW ARE WE CELEBRATING?

  • We are compiling a 605 Day welcome video from the industry! Send us a vertical video saying, “Happy 605 Day from ____!” to be included. Video submissions are due Friday, May 20. Videos can be uploaded here. You’ll find an example video here.
  • We are posting photos and video from around the state and tagging #605Day to encourage our audience to share why the 605 is such a great place to visit or call home. More information can be found in our 2022 605 Day Social Media Toolkit.
  • We host a special 605 Day page on TravelSouthDakota.com.
     

HOW CAN YOU PARTICIPATE?

We encourage cities, CVBs, industry members, restaurants, attractions, and small businesses to share the #605Day cheer by inviting your fans and followers to celebrate by doing something uniquely 605! That could mean hosting your own swag giveaway, doing a 605 Day-themed discount, hosting a 605 Day block party, etc.
