Welcome Home.

Nestled in the heart of pink quartzite cliffs lies a creek that thinks its a river. Welcome to Garretson, the City of Parks, beloved for its gorgeous landscape and its sense of community. A not-so-secret getaway for kayakers, campers, and folks looking for an experience, this small community prides itself in knowing their neighbors, and we welcome you with a hearty "Hello!"

If you have not received a "Welcome Bag," courtesy of Garretson Commercial Club, please visit First Bank & Trust located on 4th St and Main Ave to request one. In there, you will find coupons, a business and resident directory, and much more information about Garretson.

Garretson Business Directory & Residential Guide

Every year, the Garretson Commercial Club releases a Business Directory and Residential Guide, which contains important information and phone numbers for Garretson! Pick yours up today at First Bank & Trust, Alliance Communications, or Garretson Gazette. The Visitor's Guide for 2024 is similar, with a focus toward visitors to Garretson and released in a digital format only.

Garretson Rummages and Clean Up Days

Clean up day is scheduled for May 3, 2025. Between 8:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. all Garretson residents are able to bring large items to Garbage-N-More, located at 708 Nordstrom Avenue. Residents can bring anything except everyday garbage, paint cans, electronics, lawn chemicals, and unpainted construction wood or branches (dispose of branches at the city branch pile, other non-acceptable items can be brought to the Hazardous Waste Facility at 1015 E Chambers St, Sioux Falls).

            Furniture, appliances, and painted wood will be accepted. Mattresses, box springs, and tires will be accepted for a charge (tires must be off-rim).

            Springdell 4-H will be helping with the clean-up effort between 8:00 a.m. and 12:00 p.m. and will be available to pick up items for a donation to the club (along with any extra fees that may be incurred). This is helpful for anyone who does not own a large vehicle or will not be around that day. Pre-registration will be required, and inquiries can be directed to (605) 782-9075 or .

The weekend before, April 24-26, Garretson Citywide Rummages will be held. Registration for a rummage is $15 and goes towards advertising, which gets shoppers into town, which means the more sales listed, the better the turnout. Sponsored by The Garretson Gazette, registration and all sales can be found at GarretsonCitywideRummages.site.
