Crews readying to launch Red River Valley Fair on Friday

The Red River Valley Fair begins its annual 10 day-long run on July 7

WEST FARGO, N.D. (KVRR) – The Red River Valley Fair in West Fargo is still a few days away, but there’s already plenty of activity at the fairgrounds.

We stopped by with the KVRR drone to get a birds-eye view of the work and setup in progress.

The fair begins its annual 10 day-long run on Friday.

Grandstand acts this year include everyone from Dan and Shay to Third Eye Blind, Jelly Roll, Flo Rida and Lynyrd Skynyrd.

There will also be plenty of free attractions and of course every type of fair food you can imagine from corn dogs to Off-da tacos to Philly cheese steaks.

“It’s going great,” Marketing & Events Director Elizabeth Birkemeyer said. “Our carnival is rolling in, our food vendors are rolling in. Soon, our commercial vendors…every day closer to the fair gets a lot busier.”

This year’s fair runs July 7-16.
