Here's a look at what's happening in Sioux Falls this week. Oh, and don't forget to call your mom on Sunday!

  • Hang with rhinos. It's Rhinopalooza at the Great Plains Zoo this weekend. Starting at 9 a.m. Saturday, you can learn more about rhinos, watch them eat watermelon and maybe even win a plush rhino. Learn more here.
  • Celebrate Cinco. The annual Cinco De Mayo Fiesta is set to take place from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Saturday at Falls Park. Celebrate Latino culture with food, dance, art, music and more, and the event is a benefit for Caminando Juntos, an outreach ministry to the newly arrived Latino immigrants in the Sioux Falls area.
  • Have a big fun time. Fresh Produce is celebrating 20 years of art and creativity with a party Friday night in its Ipso Gallery featuring works from more than two dozen artists, live music and, rumor has it, cake. It all kicks off at 6 p.m. Friday – details here.
  • Stock up on gear. It's the 7th Annual Gear and Bear event at the Great Outdoor Store this weekend. Stop by between 11 a.m. and 6 p.m. Saturday for beer from Remedy Brewing Co., and get what you need ahead of camping season. More details here.
  • Buy plants. Minnehaha Master Gardeners are hosting their annual plant sale at the W.H. Lyon Fairgrounds starting at 9 a.m. Saturday. Admission is free, but it's worth noting you can only buy plants with cash or check. Funds raised will go toward horticulture scholarships to SDSU and Southeast Technical College. More here.
  • Celebrate mom. Last, but certainly not least, it's Mothers Day on Sunday. Don't forget to recognize the moms in your life – and send some extra love to those folks who are wishing/hoping/praying/trying to become parents or mourning the loss of a child.
