Attendance up for latest Downtown Fargo Street Fair

FARGO, N.D. (KVRR) — Downtown Community Partnership says last week’s Downtown Fargo Street Fair saw its largest crowds in years.

They estimate the attendance climbed by more than 10 percent over 2024 to well over 100,000 people.

The DCP’s location analytic technology showed that attendance was up over 8 percent on the opening day, Thursday.

But it jumped by over 16 percent on the final day, Saturday.

“This event is a true testament to the vibrancy of Downtown Fargo and the spirit of our community,” said Rocky Schneider, Executive Director of the Downtown Community Partnership. “The Street Fair is only possible through the commitment of our partners, especially the Fargo Police Department, city staff, downtown businesses, and our vendors. Together, we are showing the region that Downtown Fargo is still the vibrant cultural and economic hub of the region.”

They are already planning for the 50th anniversary of the street fair next July 16-18.
