Fargo Park Event & Programs

Join us this summer for Park It!, a free art in the park series for kids! 

Meet the art staff at a different park each time, to create arts and crafts to take home. This is the perfect opportunity for you and your little ones to get outside, connect with nature, meet up with some friends and express their creativity! 

All materials will be provided, and our experienced art instructors will be on hand to guide the kids every step of the way. Adult supervision is required.

So mark your calendars and join us for some artsy fun in the sun!

Love art but hate the mess? Join us for an Awesome Art Afternoon, where creativity knows no bounds!

Come show off your skills and make new friends at this fun-filled event. We'll have tons of art supplies for you to use, and even some professional artists to help guide you along the way. Whether you're into painting, drawing, or crafting, there's something for everyone at Awesome Art Afternoon.

Great for all ages, pre-k and older. Adult supervision is required. Staff will be at each table to assist to guide but some projects require hand-eye coordination where adult supervision will be needed for younger kids.

Explore, unwind and shop at Island Park Show! Shop for a unique treasure to take home from 100+ different booths featuring makers of fine arts and crafts.

Mothers of little ones, take a break in our nursing tent to put your feet up while caring for your baby's needs. Lounge at a picnic table in the shade and listen to live entertainment featuring some of the area's best performers.  

Between all the shopping and entertainment, be sure to grab yourself a tasty treat from our wide variety of food vendors.

Reports of strange sightings are coming in all throughout Fargo. “Experts” tell us that Fargo has an invasion of tiny, helpful monsters. These little creatures are hiding throughout Fargo waiting for community members to find them and take them home.

Join us at this art-focused event to put your imagination to the test!  Attendees have a chance to create their very own monsters plus go on a monster hike to see if they can locate any monster evidence along the trails at Forest River. Who knows ... maybe someone will even find a friendly monster to take home!

Forest River Park is a beautiful, heavily wooded area that has natural trails. There is a portable toilet on site but there is no permanent shelter or running water available. Bring along a water bottle, a snack and sunscreen and get ready to have a monstrously good time!

Stop by Island Park and enjoy a day filled with music, laughter and bright colors as children play and learn at the 25th Annual Midwest Kid Fest. All activities are free! The fest hosts interactive educational booths, life-sized games, an entertainment stage, petting zoo, strolling entertainment and more.
