60th Anniversary

WE’RE CELEBRATING 60 IN ‘22

There’s no place like the Home & Garden Show!

The Red River Valley Home & Garden Show, organized by Home Builders Association of F-M, celebrates its 60th annual event Feb. 25-27, offering the largest selection of home and garden exhibits in the region. The show began at the Fargo Civic Center in 1962. Early shows featured hourly door prizes, 40 to 50 exhibitors and a homeowners’ clinic covering building, electrical, landscaping, interior decorating, plumbing, heating and air conditioning and financial topics. First known as simply The Home Show, the event moved to West Acres Mall in the 1970s, then back to the Civic Center, and found its current home at the Fargodome in 1993. Today, the Home & Garden Show hosts hundreds of exhibitors. Education has remained an integral part as organizers work with local experts to offer workshops on cutting edge design trends, grilling and yard/ gardening topics. Other features like kids’ activities, a “dog day” and beer garden continue evolving to provide a summerlike, warm experience for show attendees.

MAKE IT A ‘DAY’

We’re back.

It’s our 60th anniversary. And we’ve got some ideas for you! The stars of our show are the exhibitors and we place them all under one roof for one weekend, but this is also a community coming together to welcome summer. We know you want to hang out with us all weekend, so check out these themed days we have planned for you.

FRIDAY “DATE NIGHT”

Maximize the fact that there probably won’t be many rowdy rug rats at the show! Just sayin’! It’s true that Friday at the Home & Garden Show is a laid-back vibe. Come check it out while enjoying a Backyard Beer Garden cocktail and some street tacos with your favorite date. Whether it’s your best buddy, gal pal or your long-time lover, you’ll enjoy the show experiencing it together and making plans for summer projects!

SATURDAY “KIDS DAY”

Our Kids Corner features all kinds of fun activities all weekend, and its whimsical design by Tin•ker will be sure to inspire. But Saturday is special, featuring PiKadilly Face Painting at no cost. Psssssst, this isn’t your run-of-the-mill face painting! Free for all ages, kids can choose from a wide variety of options from professional artist, Pam Kinneberg. Parents must always supervise their children ages 12 and under.

SUNDAY “DOG DAY”

Sunday is literally for the dogs! We know your doggos are part of the family so bring them out to the show with you. Natural Pet Center is the day’s sponsor and will provide some fun swag for your furry family member. You must purchase a $5 ticket and sign a waiver for Fido, and then you’re all set!
