Red River Market

The Red River Market is back for its 2026 season at Broadway Square!

Join us for Red River Market, North Dakota’s largest farmers' market! Each Saturday from July through October, Broadway Square in downtown Fargo transforms into a lively marketplace featuring fresh produce, handmade goods, hot food, and beverages from 80+ vendors. Enjoy live music, cultural performances, and special weekly themes that bring our community together.

Red River Market creates a space for all people to experience the joys of locally grown food. strives to support local farms and new and emerging food businesses, to increase access to fresh, locally grown produce, to be a good steward of the planet, and to create a sense of place where all are welcome.

The market was established by a group of volunteers in the spring of 2015 because of two key issues: the lack of a centrally located, accessible place to access locally grown food, and the lack of shared public space in the Fargo-Moorhead community. Since 2015, the Red River Market has grown from 800 to 8,000 weekly attendees.

Each year, the market hosts 80 paid musical and cultural performances featuring 225 local artists, from the FM Opera to the FM Kicks Jazz Band.

Visitors learn about seasonal and local eating through two free cooking demonstrations each market day, led by local chefs and dietitians. Demonstrations use ingredients purchased from market vendors, and attendees receive recipe cards with shopping lists. Hosted on the main stage at family-friendly times, these sessions are open and accessible to all.

The market also amplifies local impact by featuring two nonprofit organizations each market day. Through interactive booths and family-friendly educational programming, nonprofits share their missions and connect with the community.

To increase accessibility, visitors can swipe their EBT card at the Information Booth to receive up to $15 in matching funds per market and enjoy free rides to and from the market through our MATBUS partnership.
