Get ready to race into a wild night of fun at the annual Moose Races! Adopt and dress your very own moose, then cheer it on as it dashes toward victory. Each race brings unexpected twists, thrilling competition, and plenty of laughs. Place your bets, play games, win prizes, and enjoy great food and drinks in a high-energy atmosphere perfect for team building and holiday cheer. Moose are limited, so don’t wait! Explore the sponsorship options below and choose the level that best fits your business. To reserve your moose, contact Tara at tara@aberdeen-chamber.com or 605.225.2860.
Returning sponsors—your moose from last year is ready for another round! We’ve got replacement parts and a refreshed build kit to help fix any issues from last year and get your racer back in top shape.
Not adopting a moose? No problem! Gather your group and compete in our Table Decorating Contest instead. Show off your creativity with a festive, eye-catching display that captures the holiday spirit. Prizes will be awarded for originality, creativity, and overall presentation—so bring your A-game! Individual tickets are only $50.
Picture this: a giant board game brought to life, where locally decorated wooden moose race down the track – and the roll of oversized dice determines their fate! In each heat, up to six moose go head-to-head while the crowd cheers, places bets, and watches the excitement unfold.
Before the races begin, enjoy a lively social hour and vote for your favorite moose in the People’s Choice Best Dressed contest by dropping cash in the moose’s voting box. The moose with the most votes wins!
Then it’s off to the races! Each moose is assigned a lane and advances down the track based on the roll of two giant dice. Place your cash bets on the moose you think will take the lead—winnings are paid out based on the odds!
Winners from each race will return for the final Champions Race, where the fastest moose of the night will be crowned.
It’s unpredictable. It’s hilarious. And it’s guaranteed to be a moose-tastic time! Check out these pics from last year’s event!
