Craft Fairs & Farmers Markets in Fargo, North Dakota
Fargo's big weekend is the Downtown Fargo Street Fair, three days of vendors on Broadway every July, and late August brings the juried Island Park Show. That's 5 events, with the Red River Market on Broadway Square on summer and fall Saturdays and Junkin' Market Days at Veterans Memorial Arena each spring and fall.
Downtown Fargo Street Fair
FestivalThe Downtown Fargo Street Fair marks its 50th year in 2026, drawing more than 100,000 visitors over three days with hundreds of vendors. Sellers come from across the country, and the fair combines craft and merchandise booths with a wide food lineup, local beer and beverages, and live music throughout downtown. At that scale, this is one of the largest street fairs in the region — high foot traffic, national vendor competition for space, and a three-day commitment.
Island Park Show
CraftThe Island Park Show is a juried art and craft show in Island Park in downtown Fargo. Every exhibitor is reviewed and selected on craftsmanship, spanning fine art through handmade goods, so acceptance isn't guaranteed. Live entertainment runs through the show, and amenities include shaded picnic seating and a nursing tent. A Mini Makers Mart on Saturday gives young makers from the community space to sell their own handmade work.
