2018 Fargo-Moorhead Winter Pride Events Guide

For many folks in the Fargo-Moorhead area, Pride is a highlight of the summer. Besides the parade and legendary parties, the event draws thousands of LGBTQ+ residents and their allies from all over the region to downtown Fargo.

Winter Pride, January 30th through February 9th, is an opportunity to get together and celebrate – and bring some rainbow colors to wipe away the winter blues. We’ve compiled a list of the 2018 Winter Pride events. See our full calendar for other downtown events that weekend.
