Bismarck Events, Things to Do and Festivals 2014 / 2015

(Bismarck, North Dakota - ND, USA)



Due to the cold winter months, spring and summer tend to be the time when the majority of festivals take place in North Dakota's capital, capitalizing on the seasonal influx of tourists and visitors. Many of the city's annual events are held at the Bismarck Civic Center on South 5th Street, such as the Bismarck-Mandan Show Choir Festival each May and the Rip Roarin' Ribfest in June.

Set within the grounds of the North Dakota State Capitol Building, the Capital A'Fair attracts crowds at the beginning of August. This popular event sees artists, musicians and entertainers gather over a weekend, with all kinds of related artisan vendors selling their wares. In the following month of September, notable things to do in the capital of North Dakota include the Bismarck Marathon, the Downtowner's Street Fair and the Applefest.

Located within the downtown district, the Belle Mehus Auditorium stands on North 6th Street, where it dates from 1914 and serves as an important center for the arts. The Bismarck-Mandan Symphony Orchestra regularly stages concerts here, while the Northern Plains Dance is another draw.
