Greater Moorhead Days set to start Thursday

MOORHEAD, Minn. (KVRR) – The Greater Moorhead Days is set to start on September 7 in Moorhead, Minn. This event brings together the community and local businesses.

“It’s really exciting to put together so many great events for the community. We got a real diversity of things to celebrate this year.” said Josie Gereszek, the recreation coordinator the Moorhead Parks and Rec.

Fun for the whole family in the metro area. Which starts on Thursday with the Cruise Nights over by the mall. Ending with the Imagination Theater on the 16th at the Moorhead Public Library.

“It’s fun to ham it up and do the things we usually do but just add a little bit of celebration and flair to all of these events.” said Gereszek.

Speaking of the metro area, there’s a lot of construction going on in Moorhead. There are detour signs throughout the town which could impact your route.

“Construction never makes these things easy,” said Gereszek. “Our events should avoid a lot of the construction.”
