Discover Minnesota: Fergus Falls

Fergus Falls Is A City With A Surprisingly Robust Arts Scene

Discover Minnesota takes you to a city that prides itself on its vibrant art scene.

Fergus Falls is of course known for the famed Kirkbride building, the 130-year-old former state hospital for people with developmental disabilities.
The city also boasts three breweries, a stretch of the four-thousand mile North Country Trail, and Otto, the world’s biggest Otter.
But you might now know about the arts scene in the city, including a new concert series started during the pandemic set against the backdrop of the Kirkbride.

Jean Bowman with Visit Fergus Falls says, “People come to a small community and they don’t expect to see all the fabulous art galleries, live performing theater, music, touring concerts.”
