Gayville Hall
Gayville, South Dakota

 

Welcome to Gayville Hall!

Gayville Hall is a music hall started in 2001 that features many genres of music, including folk, country, pop, and jazz. It is located in the small town of Gayville, South Dakota, 10 miles east of Yankton and 14 miles west of Vermillion. Established in an 1879 mercantile building that had been a grocery store for 120 years, the hall features a small raised stage surrounded on three sides by 200 folding chairs. The acoustics of the room are very good, and audiences and musicians love the hall's intimacy and simple setting. Most also love the fact that Gayville Hall is a non-alcoholic, non-smoking venue. Patrons come for the two-hour music show, not for smoke and alcohol. Soft beverages and snacks are available. An art gallery and historical displays of music and Americana dress up the hall. Come see a show!

Upcoming Shows

The town of Gayville has resurrected its annual Hay Days celebration, and Gayville Hall will take part by offering two discount-priced performances of our country music variety show, in appreciation for the patronage of our regular customers and as an incentive for new patrons. The hall will present a one-hour version of "The Hay Country Jamboree" at 1 p.m. Admission for this show will be $7 at the door. An hour-and-a-half show at 7 p.m., with a ten-minute intermission, will cost $10 at the door. John and Susan McNeill, Owen DeJong, Nick Schwebach, Dan Kilbride, Dalton Coffey, and their guests will star.

Saturday, August 1, 8 p.m. -- "A Celebration of Merle Haggard"
For only the second time, Gayville Hall's Fab Four (the McNeills, Schwebach, and DeJong) will present a tribute to Merle Haggard. The show drew a full house in 2008 at its first outing and should be a crowd-pleaser again.
