Despite extreme heat and smoky skies from the Canadian wildfires, Fargo's 2026 Downtown Street Fair wrapped up on a high note. Organizers say attendance stayed strong through the weekend, with Saturday bringing especially large crowds as many visitors appeared to delay their trip until conditions improved.

The Downtown Community Partnership also made extra efforts to support vendors by providing fans, hydration, and places to cool off during the hottest days. While organizers say they'll take away a few lessons for next year, they're calling this year's event a big success and were thrilled to see vendors and attendees finish the fair on such a positive note.

Kids took a prehistoric adventure at the Fargo Public Library as Emmy Award winning children's entertainer Conductor Jack brought music, dancing, and plenty of laughs to this year's dinosaur themed Summer Reading Challenge.

Library staff say events like these help families discover that the library is much more than shelves of books. With hands on programs, community activities, and upcoming sessions at the MSUM Planetarium featuring a museum paleontologist, there's still plenty of dinosaur themed fun to enjoy this summer.
