Make Your Holiday Haul a Fargo Getaway

If you’re looking to make the most of your holiday shopping this year, there’s no better place for a festive cross-border escape than Fargo. If you haven’t been here in a while, the city is excited to showcase the new stores, refreshed experiences, and friendly charm that has made Fargo a longtime go-to destination for shopping trips.

Start your trip with Fargo’s biggest retail draws. West Acres Mall remains the centerpiece, with new additions such as Von Maur, an upscale department store renowned for its exceptional service and gift-friendly selection. Of course, you can also stop by Costco, Target, and Scheels.

Beyond the mall, Fargo’s local boutiques shine during the holidays. Downtown Fargo offers a walkable stretch of independent shops, artisan makers, and locally owned treasures you won’t find anywhere else. Vintage Point showcases a wide array of gifts and locally produced items, and will be offering 10% off this season with a Canadian ID. Plus, if you haven’t yet, stop at Brewhalla, a unique indoor market featuring food stalls, craft beer, and local vendors.

No Fargo getaway is complete without a few festive traditions. Christkindlmarkt transforms the Civic Center into a holiday village filled with local makers, warm drinks, live music, and European-inspired cheer. The Red River Valley Fairgrounds puts on the largest Holiday Lights display in the valley. And Bonanzaville, with its annual Christmas on the Prairie event.

If you’re planning your trip around Black Friday (or as local retailers call it, Plaid Friday), prepare for serious savings. Fargo’s retailers go big for the biggest shopping weekend of the year with extra gifts, sipping opportunities, and, of course, discounts. It’s a great reason to turn a one-day trip into a two-night stay, and Fargo’s hotels make it easy. With affordable rates and close access to shopping districts, they’re ideal for a relaxed weekend away.

This year, trade the stress of crowded lists and rushed errands for a cheerful, memorable weekend just across the border. A quick trip, a big haul, and a warm welcome—Fargo is ready to help you make the most of the holiday season.
