Rapid City, SD, October 31, 2026 — Several prominent South Dakota landmarks are set to be illuminated in the color teal on November 2nd to support the Alzheimer’s Foundation of America’s (AFA) annual Light the World in Teal campaign. This initiative aims to raise public awareness for Alzheimer’s disease.
Participating locations across the state will feature teal lighting as a symbol of solidarity and education for the cause. In Rapid City, Main Street Square and Holiday Hill Estates are among the sites that will be lit.
The campaign extends to other cities within South Dakota. The World’s Only Corn Palace in Mitchell, Falls Park in Sioux Falls, and Walnut Street in Yankton are also scheduled to be part of the statewide illumination effort. The date for this event is November 2nd.

The information regarding the specific start time of the illumination or any additional events associated with the campaign was not provided in the available summary. Details about the Alzheimer’s Foundation of America’s specific goals or past participation numbers were also not included.
