We’ve got a packed weekend ahead with live music, markets, events, and plenty of reasons to get out of the house before construction season fully wins.

Paradox Comics-N-Cards had a packed weekend in Fargo after hosting WWE legend Mick Foley for a special meet-and-greet following Free Comic Book Day celebrations. Store owner Richard Early said more than 1,000 people stopped by for the comic book event, and the excitement continued the next day as wrestling and comic fans lined up to meet Foley. The visit was part of a larger regional tour, but Foley made it clear that local comic shops like Paradox are what make communities stand out.

Foley also shared memories from his first trip to Fargo back in 1987, reflecting on how much the area and fan support have grown over the years. The successful weekend is another sign of Fargo’s growing pop culture scene, with Paradox already planning more large-scale events in the future, including another Comic-Con at Brewhalla and an even bigger convention once the city’s proposed convention center is completed.

The The Rourke Art Gallery welcomed artists and community members together this weekend for its 4th Annual Print Fest, a celebration dedicated entirely to printmaking. The event featured regional printmakers showcasing and selling their work while giving visitors a closer look at an art form that often doesn’t get the same attention as other mediums. Organizers say the festival is not only about supporting artists, but also helping educate the public on the creativity and craftsmanship behind printmaking.

This year’s event also introduced a fun new addition to the gallery, a print vending machine that dispenses miniature prints for just a dollar and will remain a permanent feature at the museum. Along with browsing artwork, guests could participate in screenprinting classes and grab food from local favorite Duck Duck Goose Food Company. The festival continues to grow as a unique community event that highlights Fargo-Moorhead’s local arts scene in a creative and accessible way. For more details, read the full article here.

A new local business is helping Fargo-area dogs explore the outdoors in a fun and unique way. K9 Outdoor Adventures Inc. officially launched in April 2026, offering rides and outdoor experiences for furry companions who love adventure. The business was inspired by the owners’ dogs, Abner and River, whose excitement for nature and exploring sparked the idea for the pup bus.

The couple says the business is as much a tribute to their dogs as it is a service for the community. First-time riders can currently take advantage of discounted pricing as the company begins welcoming more local pups on board. It’s another creative addition to the growing list of unique small businesses popping up around the Fargo-Moorhead area. For more details, read the full article here.

Bubblemania Brings Big Crowds and Bigger Smiles 🫧

Families packed the plaza at The Lights this weekend for Bubblemania, a playful community event that celebrated all things bubbles. With warmer weather finally arriving in the Fargo-Moorhead area, hundreds of people took advantage of the sunshine by heading outdoors for activities that included bubble wrap stations, DIY bubble wand making, and giant bubbles floating throughout the plaza.

Organizers with West Fargo Events said seeing the community come together like this is exactly what makes these events worthwhile. Bubblemania is just one of many gatherings planned at The Lights this spring and summer as the venue continues building its reputation as a major community hub. One of the biggest upcoming events will be Chutes and Boots Pro Bull Riding later this month, when the plaza will temporarily transform into a full bull-riding arena.
