Questions, answered
What guides does Fargoish have?
46 of them, listed on this page: seasonal guides (Thanksgiving, Christmas lights, holiday events, New Year's Eve, Halloween, spring break and summer festivals), month-by-month pages, year-round lists like date night, things to do for adults and at night, cheap things to do, breweries, patios, birthday freebies, day trips, brunch, live music, skating and sledding, a first-timer's guide, a new-to-Fargo guide, city pages for downtown Fargo, Moorhead and West Fargo, and the kids' guides on Fargoish Jr., including toddlers and teens.
How are the guides checked?
Every listing links to the venue's, organizer's, city's or park district's own page and shows the date we checked it. Calendar sections refresh every night. We don't copy other event sites.
How often are seasonal guides updated?
They're rebuilt nightly, dated items drop off after they happen, and each guide gets a fresh round of checking every year before its season.
