Sturgis Downtown Development Authority opened its 2024 festival scheduled Jan. 12 with “Winter Blues.
Ryan Conrod, director at DDA, said turnout was “very slow” due to weather. More than a dozen music acts were scheduled to perform, but a couple had to cancel. General response by patrons, though was positive, Conrod said.
