Local Musicians in Stores (5pm – 9pm)
Downtown Fargo celebrates local musicians, and you will find several local talents in and out of the stores on Broadway, Main Ave and 8th Street. Some of our musicians are professionals yet many are young and talented and showcasing their talents for us. So come out and browse the stores while listening to singers, string players, guitarists, disc jockeys and more. Musicians play from 5:00 – 9:00.

Community Art Projects (all day)
Be artistic with us! We are asking the community to add their unique, artistic touches to several community art projects throughout downtown Fargo. So as you stroll from store to store, we would like you to stop by and glue, tack, attach or paint a small part of a larger art piece to create an overall collage. Several different themes will be used and all ages are invited. Local artists will seal the pieces and prepare them for hanging. The finished art pieces will be auctioned off for charity during a downtown holiday event. This is free to the public, and we welcome all ages. Community Art Projects run from 10am – 10pm.
Charity Supported: The Salvation Army

Bring your children to the Fargo Public Library in Downtown Fargo on October 8th for special story telling times during Downtowner 10 to 10. Story Hours at the Library are at 1pm, 2pm and 3pm on that day. If you haven’t taken in the new library yet, now’s the time to marvel at the space and all it has to offer.
