2023 Big Sioux Film Festival Silent Auction

Thank you for visiting our 2023 Big Sioux Film Festival Silent Auction! We are very excited about the variety of items generously donated by local businesses around the Sioux Falls area, and we hope you are too. From beer tasting tours to outdoor gear to various gift cards, there is something for everyone! In addition to bidding, there is an option to donate to Friends of the Big Sioux River through the green Donate button at the top right hand of this site. You can also purchase tickets to the Big Sioux Film Festival at fbsr.org/film-festival.

Proceeds from the fundraiser will go to supporting our mission of protecting and restoring the Big Sioux River and its watershed, improving the water quality, and educating our community to build a conservation ethic. Throughout the next year, we will be focusing our efforts on river clean-ups, a GIS mapping project of the watershed, water testing, public policy and advocacy at the state and local level, and increased educational presentations at schools and community groups.

Friends of the Big Sioux River is a water advocacy nonprofit on a mission to protect and restore the Big Sioux River and its watershed. We focus on four main areas: water quality monitoring, public policy and advocacy, river restoration and education. These core areas all center around improving our local community and building a conservation ethic. We all live downstream.

The Big Sioux Film Festival Silent Auction will NOT convert to a live auction at the event. All bidding will take place online. The auction ends at 8:00 PM on February 16th.

Winning bidders will be announced at the conclusion of the Film Festival. You do not have to be present at the Film Festival to win. If the top bidders are not in attendance, they will be contacted separately to pick up their item(s).
