• Go underground.* The Premiere Playhouse is debuting its new Underground Series this weekend with a performance of "American Idiot" based on the 2004 Green Day concept album of the same name. This bold, semi-immersive production brings dinner theatre to downtown Sioux Falls with a curated meal from Dada Gastropub followed by an unforgettable performance. Get your tickets here.
• Light up the Falls. The city's annual Winter Wonderland celebration kicks off this weekend with holiday lights in Falls Park and, new this year, the opening of the ice ribbon at Jacobson Plaza. It's all going down Friday at 5 p.m. with the lighting of the Falls followed by fireworks at 6 p.m. After the city fireworks, there'll be even more from the Steel District. Learn more here.
• Talk about 19th Street. There's been a bit of discontent from neighbors around the city's plans to close down a block of 19th Street off of Minnesota Avenue to accommodate a planned Tre Ministries development. To help answer any questions, the All Saints Neighborhood Association is hosting a public meeting Wednesday evening at the downtown library to get questions answered before it all heads to a City Council vote on Dec. 2.
• Sip and shop. The Inn at Westport is hosting a Sip & Shop open house holiday shopping event. You can shop a number of local vendors from 4 to 7 p.m. Thursday, and the first 25 people to attend will receive gift bags. Details here.
• Celebrate Friendsgiving. Severance Brewing and Sunny's Pizzeria are teaming up for a Friendsgiving event Monday evening with free pizza while supplies last. Grab a brew, hang with friends and soak up some good ol' fashioned community fun. Details here.
• Share some shoes. Local chef Rudy M. Navarrete is hosting his annual shoe drive this weekend to provide shoes to kids at the Boys & Girls Club. Bring a pair of brand-name tennis shoes downtown Saturday evening at the event at Severance Brewing. All food proceeds will also be donated, so stop for some Tex-Mex, too. Details here.
• Spend time remembering. The holiday season can also bring a deep well of sadness for those we've lost, and local doulas are hosting an event Thursday evening to create some space for that grief and remembrance. The "A Night of Remembrance" event is hosted at Transitions: Doula and Life Services in partnership with Blue Heron Doula Services. It's a free, potluck-style event, and guests are encouraged to bring a photo of whomever they'd like to honor. Details here.
