Experience the Vibrant Spring at the Red River Market in Moorhead
As the weather warms and the earth bursts back to life, the Red River Market is returning for a delightful shopping experience! Recently, on April 12, the market organizers brought an exciting pop-up event to Concordia College, providing a taste of what to expect in the upcoming summer series.
Exploring Local Flavors and Crafts
Despite the outdoor markets in Broadway Square, Fargo, not kicking off until July, the Red River Market isn’t leaving you without options in the meantime. Enjoy fresh foods, unique crafts, and local vendors all under one roof. The next opportunity to explore this vibrant community market will be on May 17 at POW/MIA Plaza in West Fargo, starting bright and early at 10 a.m.
For those eager to plan ahead, a full schedule of Red River Market events is readily available online at redriver.market/schedule.
A Glimpse of the Market in Action
Highlights from the April 12 Event
- Musical Performances: The atmosphere was alive with the talent of local artists, as Abbi Lee of Tailspin captivated the crowd by harmonica-playing soothing covers that perfectly complemented the bustling market environment.
- Interactive Activities: Children enjoyed engaging in creative pursuits, such as drawing on community coloring pages. A little star, two-year-old Rafael Winn, showcased his artistic flair while enjoying his time at the market.
- Community Impact: The market went beyond just shopping; patrons contributed to Letters of Love, an organization dedicated to sending heartfelt, handmade letters to children battling serious illnesses. Notably, six-year-old Henri Ojanen joined in, sharing his creativity for a wonderful cause.
