Visit Brookings

We’re a small city in eastern South Dakota, right on I-29. With the energy of a college town and attractions for any kind of adventurer, Brookings is fine-tuned for fun. Bring your family. Bring your friends. Bring your curiosity. We’re ready to welcome.

The Brookings Convention & Visitors Bureau (dba Visit Brookings) became a 501c6 organization on January 1, 2020. Prior to that, the organization existed as part of the Brookings Area Chamber of Commerce. In 1982 the organization was created as a Chamber committee. By 2012, Chamber leadership, recognizing the need to elevate the focus and priority of the visitor industry in Brookings, took initial steps to separate the two entities by creating the Brookings Convention & Visitors Bureau Advisory Board and developing a separate CVB budget. Discussions started in earnest in 2019 with both the Chamber and CVB in favor of separating. Paperwork was soon filed and a few months later, the new organization was born.

Over the coming months, we will continue to share information through our existing websites and social media channels while we work toward launching a single, unified presence under a new name and brand. The teams remain in place and accessible, and existing contact information will remain the same until the new brand is launched. We encourage you to reach out with questions and stay engaged as we move forward together.

This alignment will allow us to better coordinate resources, streamline communication, and expand the impact of our work across the community. We appreciate your continued engagement and support during this transition and look forward to what we will accomplish together.
