The South Dakota Ghostbusters were founded on one simple idea: suit up, have fun, and make a difference. We are a locally rooted cosplay group serving Sioux Falls and the surrounding Sioux Empire. For over a decade, we’ve participated in community events, charity events, mall walks, conventions, school appearances, and local festivals with one goal — to bring energy, nostalgia, and real support to the community that supports us. Over the past ten years, we have helped raise five figures for local charities right here in South Dakota. Not once. Not as a headline. But consistently, year after year. We are not a pop-up team. We are not a one-season project. We are built on consistency, creativity, and commitment. When we say we show up, we mean it.
Experience. Our members of the South Dakota Ghostbusters cosplay group bring years of costuming, prop building, event coordination, and community involvement to everything we do. We’ve participated in nearly a hundred public events, including charity events, across South Dakota, building long-term relationships with organizers and charities along the way.
Authenticity. Screen-accurate gear. Real builds. Functional props. Iconic vehicles. We take pride in getting it right, because when someone sees a proton pack and says, 'That looks real,' that moment matters.
Local First. We support local charities. Period. The money raised from our charity events stays here. The impact stays here. Over the last decade, those efforts have added up to five figures reinvested directly into our community.
Family Friendly. Community Focused. We believe fandom should bring people together. We welcome serious builders, casual fans, rookies learning the ropes, and seasoned veterans alike in our South Dakota Ghostbusters group. What matters is teamwork and representing the group well in public.
We use Ghostbusters nostalgia as a vehicle to create real-world impact in our community, particularly through our South Dakota Ghostbusters cosplay group. This means: • Supporting local charity events • Encouraging donations for community causes • Creating immersive photo experiences at conventions • Giving kids and families something unforgettable. We don’t just attend events; we elevate them.
For more than ten years and over a hundred charity events, our cosplay group has raised five figures for local charities in South Dakota. We suit up because we love Ghostbusters, and we stay because we care about our community. Suit up. Have fun. Make a difference.

"Why am I a South Dakota Ghostbuster? The chance to give back, and the joy we bring to people, especially the kids."
"When I was 6 I lost my mom to cancer in 1989. She introduced me to the Ghostbusters when I was 3. I was obsessed with them. While in the hospital for my 6th birthday she arranged for the doctors and nurses to play as ghosts. I was a Ghostbuster and got to catch them. It's a memory I will never forget. Thr last movie I saw with her was Ghostbusters 2 in the theater. So I've always held Ghostbusters close to my heart. I was beyond excited about being invited into the South Dakota Ghostbusters. Because it gives me the chance to do for kids what the doctors and nurses did for me. Seeing kids face light up and instantly recognize a Ghostbuster when they see one. It just a great feeling and knowing that your doing something good for the community."
"When I first donned the proton pack and flight suit, it was just to be a part of something, but seeing the joy we bring to people has made being a Ghostbuster really special."
"My passions are making a difference and Ghostbusters!"
"I am a South Dakota Ghostbuster because I can make a difference by sharing my enthusiasm and love for a franchise I have had all my life. Seeing the faces of everyone we interact light up, with no matter their age, is one of the most rewarding experiences there is."
"Nothing better then suiting up with friends that become family for a great cause."
We’re not just a cosplay group; we’re a family. And we don’t turn our backs on family. At South Dakota Ghostbusters, we lift each other up, supporting one another both in and out of uniform. This sense of community is what makes us different and keeps us engaged in charity events that benefit those in need. That’s why we’re still here. Suit up and join the real family.
