The downtown Fargo Street Fair is a staple of summer and tourism in our neck of the woods and it is undergoing the largest changes in its history.
Melissa Rademacher is the Executive Director of the Downtown Community Partnership and she is part sledgehammer and part ambassador to the new look, feel and excitement of the 2018 Downtown Fargo Street Fair.

The street fair STILL has all of your favorite things!
1. The food court is still there – but will feature more local additions and options.
2. The crafts and vendors are still there – but have an opportunity to setup earlier due to changes in the route. Look for the new “Local” block, right in front of the Fargo Theater!
3. It’s still located downtown – but has a route change that will encourage visitors to explore other aspects of the area they may not know even exists.
4. Parking is still a major worry – but it shouldn’t be. Broadway now will be open for parking, the RoCo parking ramp is ready and the route opens up additional parking in nearby neighborhoods – oh yeah, plus
LINKFM
is a free option where MatBus will shuttle you from the Moorhead Center Mall parking lot to downtown Fargo…for free!
5. This is still a great place to meet, greet and party – but you can walk around with booze now thanks to a temporary permit. Five vendors are selling their Fargo favorites and, armed with a special cup, you can walk around enjoying an adult beverage.
