North Dakota events

North Dakota is known as much for its hiking trails and big game hunting as it is for the largest Scandinavian Festival in North America - Norsk Hostfest. Tourism is the third largest industry of the state, fueled by casinos, and nightlife that encompasses intimate venues, big-ticket concerts and charming pubs.

North Dakota also has the bustling college towns Grand Forks and Fargo, the latter being home to North Dakota State University.
