Due to COVID-19 and the potential of attracting thousands of visitors to town while not being able to maintain proper social distancing protocols, Wild Bill Days scheduled for June 19-20 in Deadwood has been cancelled for 2020. The City of Deadwood in May will be relaxing its ordinance and will allow businesses to open, however proper protocols will call for social distancing and large gatherings are not advisable at this time. The Deadwood Chamber of Commerce, organizers of Wild Bill Days, are hopeful to be able to carryover the existing line-up of entertainment to June 18-19, 2021.
