#1 Rocky Horror Picture Show at The Fargo Theatre

"My all-time favorite happening in Fargo-Moorhead is The Fargo Theatre’s presentation of Rocky Horror Picture Show. This is an event I look forward to each year as the highlight of my Halloween! This evening is more than just a screening of the cult-classic film—all attendees show up and show out in their best camp fashion for the theater’s cosplay competition which always comes with a coveted prize. During the show, sit and watch as the most random props are thrown about the room and the crowd shouts throughout the movie. Plus, you can enjoy your favorite movie theater snacks while you’re at it. This truly is a must-attend experience!"

#2 The Night Bazaar

"Folkways’ Night Bazaar is an iconic event in downtown Fargo and boasts the best summer vibes, three times a year. Personally, I go to enjoy the great food, live music, surprise entertainment, and local vendor shopping, all in Broadway Square! Walking through this scene with a refreshing drink in hand and sunny skies is what summer is all about. Plus, you know it's cool when the street is closed for a skating half-pipe and flame twirlers."

#3 CreativeMornings: Fargo

“Fargo is among over 226 cities across 67 countries that host CreativeMornings—a monthly breakfast lecture series that brings people together over something we all have in common: creativity. CreativeMornings is an organization I volunteer for, and I have come to love it for what it stands for and what it offers the community each and every month. Come to Jasper (the host for all 2023 events) ready for a cup of delicious coffee provided by Stumbeano's and a pastry from Rosewild to start your morning off right—I will see you there!"

#4 FM Symphony Masterworks Concerts

“Let’s be honest, classical music is underrated. Fargo’s Symphony Orchestra is a gem in town that everyone should be proud of. Having a performing orchestra of their caliber is a testament to the rich arts culture Fargo has fostered. Going to the symphony is entertaining, educational, and inspiring—keep things interesting and take your next date to the symphony, you won’t regret it. Fun fact, in their upcoming season, they will be playing selections from Legend of Zelda!"

#5 Rosewild’s Ice Cream Social with Silver Lining

"Now this is one I personally plan, and it brings me so much joy each year. For me, summer kicks off in downtown Fargo at Rosewild’s Ice Cream Social with Silver Lining Creamery. Our community takes to social media to submit their dream ice cream flavor ideas for the summer season and the winning scoop is designed by Rosewild’s Executive Chef and Silver Lining Creamery. Then it makes its grand debut in Broadway Square! Plus, the opening night of Music @ The Square is the perfect place to soak up some sun, listen to live music, and enjoy a sweet treat."

Night Bazaar is a monthly event run by Folkways. The magical evenings are filled with food, music, art, and performances. Underneath the twinkling lights on Broadway Square, you can shop from local artists, makers, and vintage shops while you snack on food from your favorite (or, to-be new favorite!) food vendors.

This year's dates for Night Bazaar are June 22, July 20, and September 14!

This year's winning flavor, Grilled Peach with Hot Honey, is the epitome of summer living!
