Winter outdoor dining? Is that even a thing? It is in our area! Just because there’s ice and snow doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy the outdoors. Try dining in an igloo, or huddle up around a fire pit!
Note: There are no locations in Fargo-Moorhead offering igloo dining in 2024/2025. Check back next year for an update!

Frostival S’Mores & More Event
Cook your own S’mores, drink hot chocolate, listen to music, and skate on an outdoor rink! This is one of many Frostival events worth checking out!
