It’s that time of year again, Bison! Welcome incoming students and welcome back to everyone returning for another semester!

Many students are finding it hard to say good-bye to summer freedom, the beautiful sunny weather, lack of homework and the care-free vibes that go hand-in-hand with summertime. 

Not to worry. There is still plenty to do in and around Fargo-Moorhead even after the temps cool down and the schoolwork builds up. There are plenty of highlights this fall, appealing to all sorts of interests.

Night Bazaar – Sept. 14th and 21st at Broadway Square

Local artists and vendors take to downtown Fargo for a fun evening this September! Add in food trucks and live music and this is a great excuse to check out everything Fargo has to offer.

West Fest – Sept. 16th – 21st

West Fargo has its own citywide celebration the third week of September, with events scattered throughout the week. The city celebrates with a parade, a street fair, a craft and vendor show, and much more! Check the West Fest 2024 events page for more details. 

Zach Williams Revival Nights Tour – Oct. 13th at the Scheels Arena

This Christian contemporary music artist has made a name for himself in the genre. With hits such as Rescue Story, Old Church Choir, and his collab with Dolly Parton titled There Was Jesus, Williams has come a long way from the world of drugs and depression that he started his career in. This fall, he hits the road with fellow Christian artists CAIN, Matt Maher, and Ben Fuller. 

Pride of Dakota – Nov. 1st – 2nd at the Scheels Arena

Pride of Dakota showcase is held across the state at different times of the year. Local vendors, crafters, and businesses have the chance to display and sell their products. Fargo hosts the showcase at the Scheels Arena in West Fargo every fall. Shoppers can come to browse or to make a dent in their Christmas shopping. The Pride of Dakota makes for a fun way to get out and about and explore local businesses. 

There’s plenty more that Fargo has to offer, at all times of the year. Be sure to check the Corq app for campus events or the Fargo-Moorhead events page for more fun things to try in the community.
