WEST FARGO, N.D. – No matter what decade your favorite was, there was a bit of nostalgia available for everyone this weekend at the Veterans Memorial Arena.

That’s because the Totally Rad Vintage Fest took over the space with all sorts of fabulous clothing and retro memorabilia.

Everything from hats to handbags and old-school neon signs were available for purchase.

There was also a free arcade with vintage game consoles like the Nintendo 64.

Event organizers say that people never get tired of reliving happy memories from the past – and being able to create new ones with their adult money.

“When you were a kid,” explained Carson Watts, “maybe you didn’t have the money back then, or your parents didn’t have the money. But now you’re here, you’ve worked hard for your earnings, and you can really splurge on yourself and get that thing you wanted back when you were a kid.”

Even if you didn’t want to shop – you could still explore the Rad Rewind Museum, where Totally Rad curated a collection of iconic gadgets, retro tech, and artifacts that defined the 80s, 90s, and 00’s eras.
