Alley Fair to be held June 1 in Downtown Fargo

Fargo, ND– Fargo’s newest summer event will invite visitors to step off of downtown streets and explore the back alleys. On June 1 the alleyway behind 300 Broadway will be transformed into a day-long festival featuring local food, live music, and art.

The organizers of Alley Fair were inspired by the idea of using a non-traditional venue to create a new type of outdoor event for the community. By pushing the boundaries to create an event in an underutilized space, they hope to provoke visitors’ imaginations for the future of downtown Fargo.

“There are so many potential uses for alleys,” said Joe Burgum, one of Alley Fair’s organizers. “It takes a passionate and creative group like this to take the risk and help people envision what alleys can become.”

The Alley Fair organization works to activate and transform the alleyways of downtown Fargo. The goal of the event is to design an environment that will encourage visitors to rethink urban landscapes.

Alley Fair will take place from noon to 11:30 p.m on Saturday, June 1. Visitors can enter the fair at 307 Roberts Street North, Fargo, ND next to Mezzaluna restaurant.

The event will be family-friendly and free from noon to 7 p.m. with art, food and outdoor activities featuring an Artist and Makers’ Market. From 8 p.m. -11:00 p.m., Alley Fair will transition to become a 21+ event. Guests will pay a $10 cover to hear a live music performance by Post Traumatic Funk Syndrome. Tickets will be available online (www.alleyfair.eventbrite.com) and at the entrance.
