Saturdays until October 29, 10am-2pm
Northeast corner of Broadway and 4th Ave N
So popular that it’s changed Downtown, is the Saturday nucleus pulling everything toward it. Cheerful, always packed, impressive variety, not just food. Scrolling down: bags of topsoil, artists and crafters, adoptable pets, clothing, the occasional pop-up cafe. Actual farmers too! See you there.

Red Raven, 916 Main Ave, Fargo
A chance to see one of the founders of the modern indie movement. Restless, always evolving, a founding member of at least five bands. Genres: punk, lo-fi, rock and pop, and that doesn’t cover it. Now that New Direction is closing, we’re glad to see more music at the Raven -- and only $5.

The New Direction, 14 Roberts Street downstairs, Fargo
Only a few more shows at one of our favorite venues, and this is a good one. Stef and her band (SC, vocals and guitar; Clancy on drums; Shelley Salant on bass) are the personification of DIY -- different, original, and interesting. How much? TND haven’t decided yet, but probably $7, maybe $10.

The dominant Danish metal band. We said metal but the leader, Michael Poulson, is a big fan of Elvis and you can hear it. Breakthrough album ‘Beat the Meat;’ opened for Metallica and Megadeth. Last two albums ‘Guitar Gangsters,’ and ‘Outlaw Gentlemen’ were number one all over Europe. All ages.

The Sanctuary, 670 4th Ave N, Fargo
Heavy metal from Denison, Texas. Fans call them THC. Our favorite album is ‘Peacemaker.’ ‘Ride On’ is nice too: ‘...our way of letting everybody know that rock and roll ain’t dead.’ Oh, and the song off their second album, ‘Pissed Off and Mad About It.’ 21+

Is it your first time? Start at the back. Don’t make any sudden moves. Keep your hands near the brakes. Watch out for potholes, oil, speed bumps, and oncoming cars on narrow roads. It’s okay to spit or blow your nose, but first move away from the group.
