WEST FARGO, N.D. – The 2025 Red River Valley Fair has officially come to a close, and it was one for the books. Over the course of ten exciting days, the Fair welcomed 143,740 guests, marking the second-highest attendance in the Fair’s history.

One of the most unforgettable moments came on Sunday, July 13, when Lauren Daigle and Josiah Queen, presented by Pulse ND, drew a record-breaking 12,800 attendees — the largest concert crowd in Fair history.

“This year was truly something special,” said Cody Cashman, CEO of the Red River Valley Fair Association. “We listened to feedback, made some big changes, and the community came out in force. From the new Dirt Series to the biggest concert we’ve ever hosted, it was amazing to see the grounds full of energy every day.”

The 2025 Fair delivered a powerful mix of tradition and innovation. Highlights included:

- Record-breaking concerts, including Lauren Daigle and Josiah Queen’s SOLD OUT show

- The launch of the new Dirt Series, adding high-energy motorsports to the lineup

- Free concerts and entertainment throughout the grounds

- Impressive livestock shows and static exhibits

- Thrilling rides from Amusement Midway Providers

- A wide array of food vendors serving up fair favorites

“We poured everything we had into this year’s Fair,” said Erin Fons, Director of Marketing & Partnerships. “Seeing nearly 144,000 people walk through our gates and enjoy the experience we built together — that’s why we do what we do. The Fargo-Moorhead community and beyond showed up in such a meaningful way.”
