Here are some great events to help you have the perfect Fourth of July 2019 in the Roughrider State!
Much more than a firework display, the Sertoma Festival is one big party. The festivities include a 5K and 10K run/walk, kiddie parade, live music, kids’ games, a variety of demonstrations and performances, watermelon feed, raffles and giveaways, and of course, fireworks.
The people at Bonanzaville know how to party and that knowledge is on full display for the Fourth. Activities include carnival games with fun prizes, train rides, kids’ games and crafts, historical recreations, horse-drawn wagon rides, live demonstrations, a parade, and a firework display.
Packed into over a weeks-worth of activities, you’ll be dying to come and experience all this fair has to offer. Saturday is Family Fun Day where you’ll see most of the events take place. Get ready for a parade, carnival, rodeo performance, 10K, 5K and Youth Marathons, and Southwest Speedway Race. On July 3, there will be a concert. On July 4, there will be the much-anticipated fireworks. And on July 6, do not miss the Demolition Derby.
This incredible celebration has been around for more than a century. The four-day party includes Art In The Park, music and dancing, baseball, parade, craft and trade show, street dance, fireworks display, and the PRCA rodeo, of course.
Located on the grounds of the North Dakota State Capitol, the event includes a performance by the symphony orchestra and a firework show after the concert. The display is widely considered the best in the entire state.
