Fargo, North Dakota – Folkways is excited to announce the 10th anniversary season of the Red River Market, kicking off with a grand opening event on July 13th. This free, family-friendly celebration goes beyond birthdays – it’s a chance to reflect on a decade of building a strong, healthy community.

A Vibrant Market Experience

The opening event, presented by Blue Cross Blue Shield of North Dakota (BCBSND) Caring Foundation, takes place on Saturday, July 13th from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM at Broadway Square. Visitors can enjoy live music, shop from over 90 local vendors selling everything from fresh produce and hot meals to art and handcrafted goods.

Local Businesses and Delicious Offerings

The market boasts a diverse range of vendors, including Treat Theater’s gourmet chocolates, Steep Me Tea Apothecary’s wellness teas, Midheaven Garden’s fresh vegetables, and Namaste Kitchen, Fargo-Moorhead’s first Indian cuisine food truck.
