Celebrating New Year’s Eve can look a bit different than when we were younger.
Rather than going out and staying up until the wee hours of the morning, some of us might even struggle to make it to midnight!
But ringing in the new year with the family is fun in its own right.
Here are some family-friendly New Year’s events in Fargo and Moorhead where you can bring the whole family and celebrate the new year with your nearest and dearest! Plus some more ideas for celebrating with kids.
