Events to look forward to this spring in Fargo
BRITTANY HOFMANN | THE SPECTRUM
Spring is finally here, and Fargo is champing at the bit to get started with their spring and summertime activities.
Spring Open House at Baker Garden & Gift
From noon-5 p.m. Sunday, April 28 Baker Garden & Gift on South University Drive will be hosting their spring open house to celebrate the coming of the season.
They are planning something big this year because it’s their 60th season.
They will be featuring store-wide discounts, food sampling and door prizes. Not only that, but their greenhouses are officially open.
From 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, May 4 the Red River Market will team up with Prairie Roots Co-op once again for a spring market preview of their upcoming season.
The outdoor event features spring produce, pantry items, household and baked goods, art, hot food and beverages.
You can shop the local vendors while listening to live music and viewing cooking demonstrations by Prairie Roots.
Some local names you can look forward to seeing at the market are Twenty Below Coffee Co., Flannel Fizz, Fargo Brewing Company, The Honey B Soap Company, Jen’s Bakery, Off the Deck Hot Sauce, Plants for Patients and many, many more.
Red River Spring Market by day, concert by night.
On Saturday, May 4, KNDS will be hosting their 15th annual block party.
KNDS will be hosting the event at The Aquarium, which is upstairs of Dempsey’s.
Typically, shows at The Aquarium are for those 21 years of age or older, but fortunately this show is open for all ages.
The block party will feature Night Moves, an indie band based out of Minneapolis.
Doors open at 6 p.m., and the show begins at 7 p.m.
Tickets can be purchased ahead of time online or at the door before for $15. Tickets will also be available for purchase at Orange Records and Dempsey’s.
Night Moves describes their sound as “really synthy-y, doomsday, Flaming Lips-sounding — electronic and dark. While other songs resembled folky, laidback material,” according to the event’s Facebook page.
The block party is the perfect way to say goodbye to grueling school days and hello to care-free times this summer.
More information can be found on the event’s Facebook page.
