Holiday shoppers have a variety of options in North Dakota cities

BISMARCK, ND – Small Business Saturday is November 29, and with more than 67,000 small businesses in North Dakota, shoppers are sure to have plenty of options from clothing and home decor to specialty foods and one-of-a-kind art. Shop a number of small businesses in rural areas or visit the major retail hubs of Bismarck, Fargo, Grand Forks and Minot to get a variety of shopping done in one trip.  

Heritage is something taken quite seriously in North Dakota, and until our recent population boom, it was easy to assume anyone who lived here came from farming roots. North Dakotans are a tight-knit group, often truthfully answering yes when people say, “I know someone from North Dakota. Do you know him?”

The holiday season is upon us and throughout the state, cities and towns have come up with their own unique ways of celebrating. From parades to concerts to total a transformation into a Dickens Village, North Dakotans offer up their best holiday cheer.
