The Great Maze
2026-09-21 14:00 - 20:00 | West Acres Regional Shopping Center, 3902 13th Avenue South, Fargo, ND, 58103, United States
Spanning 1–2 acres, The Great Maze is one of the most accessible fall attractions around. Built with beautiful white cedar plank walls, it offers an elevated, long-lasting, and immersive maze experience. For years, we were known for our towering straw bale maze. Featuring 7-foot cedar walls that deliver an epic challenge and family fun.
Unlike your average corn maze, you can’t see through the walls or cut through the stalks—no shortcuts here! With narrow, winding pathways, the average time to complete the maze is 45 minutes to an hour, giving the same challenge as a traditional corn maze but with a fraction of the walking distance.
Whether you’re racing through the maze, exploring the corn pit there’s something for everyone. It’s a perfect way to kick off fall and make memories with family and friends.
Activities & Events Include:

Every Tuesday: Dog Day with Homeward Animal Shelter

The events are held throughout the community the third week of September and culminates with a day of celebration on Sheyenne the third Saturday in September.
This year’s West Fest theme is YOUR CITY. After last year’s theme, Grounded and Growing, which celebrated West Fargo’s strong roots and continued growth, this year’s theme shifts the focus to the people who make our community what it is.
YOUR CITY is a celebration of the people, places, and spirit that make West Fargo feel like home. It’s about neighbors supporting neighbors, local businesses, parks, schools, traditions, and the shared experiences that bring our community together. Whether you’ve lived here your whole life or just arrived, West Fest is a chance to celebrate the city we all call ours.
Parade registration is now open!Parade registration link:https://pci.jotform.com/form/250415022383143
