About Corn Palace

Corn Palace is a multi-purpose venue at 612 North Main St. in Mitchell, South Dakota. The current building dates to 1921, while the Corn Palace itself has existed in multiple incarnations since the first version was built in 1892. Owned and operated by the City of Mitchell, it holds approximately 3,200 people for events, with capacity and layout varying by configuration.

Billed as the “World’s Only Corn Palace,” the venue is one of South Dakota’s best-known landmarks and tourist attractions. It serves as the home court for the Dakota Wesleyan University Tigers and the Mitchell High School Kernels, while also hosting concerts, stage shows, the annual Corn Palace Festival, polka festivals, trade shows, graduations, banquets, and community events.

The building is especially known for its annual exterior murals, which are redesigned and re-created with thousands of bushels of corn, grain, and native grasses in multiple natural colors.

Location & Transportation

Corn Palace is located at 612 North Main St., Mitchell, SD 57301 — in downtown Mitchell and easily reached from Interstate 90.

Driving and Parking: Most visitors arrive by car. Street parking and nearby public lots serve the venue, and parking is generally straightforward compared with major-metro arenas. For popular events, arriving early helps you secure nearby parking in the downtown core.

Rideshare: Rideshare availability is limited in a market this size, so most visitors use a personal vehicle. If you plan to use a rideshare service, build in extra time around event start and end times.

Nearby Accommodation: Mitchell offers numerous hotels and motels, with clusters near the Interstate 90 interchange and along the main highway corridors. These areas are within a short drive of downtown and provide convenient access to Corn Palace events.

Venue Navigation

Corn Palace has a mid-size municipal arena layout, with a main floor surrounded by permanent and retractable seating. Because event configurations can change for basketball, concerts, stage shows, and community programs, reviewing your section and seating map before arriving helps make entry smoother.

Entrances and Access: The main public entrance is on North Main Street in downtown Mitchell. The gift shop and event-entry areas are at street level, making the venue straightforward to access from the surrounding downtown area.

Seating Levels: Inside, the arena features a main floor with surrounding permanent and retractable grandstand seating. Basketball and concert setups adjust the floor use and stage or court orientation based on the event.

Accessibility: Corn Palace is a city-operated public facility, and accessible entry and seating are provided for guests attending events.

How Much Do Tickets to Corn Palace Cost?

Corn Palace ticket prices vary widely depending on the type of event, the artist or team, seating section, and demand — which is what you'd expect from a venue that hosts everything from college and high school basketball to headline touring concerts and festival performances.

For Dakota Wesleyan University and Mitchell High School basketball, tickets are typically low, often around $5–$15. Seat location, opponent, and event demand can affect pricing for basketball dates.

For concerts and stage shows, tickets can start low and range higher for headline touring acts, roughly $25–$75 or more depending on the performer, seating location, and demand.

For Corn Palace Festival and community events, many events are free to attend, while ticketed performances are generally priced modestly. Special touring shows and high-interest festival performances can draw stronger demand.

For in-demand concerts and festival headliners, buying earlier generally secures better seats and prices. As inventory shrinks and the event date approaches, the best remaining sections can become more expensive.

Getting Ready for Your Corn Palace Event

Once your tickets are confirmed, a few practical preparations make your visit run significantly smoother — especially for a downtown Mitchell venue where nearby parking is easiest when you arrive ahead of the crowd.

• Download your tickets before you leave. Save your tickets to your phone's wallet or screenshot them before departing so you're ready at the arena entrance without needing a signal.
• Charge your phone fully. Digital ticketing is standard, and your phone is your entry. A portable battery pack is worth having for a full evening.
• Arrive early. Arrive early for popular events to secure nearby parking in the downtown core; traffic is generally light compared with major metros.
• Wear the right footwear. Corn Palace is a downtown street-level venue with standard arena stairs to grandstand seating, so comfortable shoes are a smart choice.
• Dress in layers. The interior is climate-controlled, but South Dakota’s outdoor conditions can vary when you arrive and leave, especially in winter.
• Build extra time into your transit plan. For popular events, give yourself a little extra time to park and walk in from the surrounding downtown streets or lots.
• Check the bag policy in advance. Reviewing the venue's guidelines before packing prevents delays at security.
