Fargo has an up-and-coming, entrepreneurial spirit to the community that you’ll notice right when you arrive. The metro area spans three cities (Fargo, Moorhead, and West Fargo) and two states separated by the Red River of the North.

Discover canoe parades in the fall, gorgeous wineries along the prairie, and vintage markets on Downtown streets. The rooftop patio views of the sunsets cannot be beaten, and the inspired food and crafted drinks are a perfect match. Immerse yourself in the historical Stave church and Hjemkomst Viking ship, the downtown murals, and step back in time at Bonanzaville, the pioneer village. Experience north. North of Normal.

A fun Friday night featuring chart topping hits & the 55th anniversary of two iconic albums. Performed by some of the area's top musicians  
  
Come join us for a night filled with soulful tunes at TAK Music Venue! We're celebrating the legendary Carole King with our annual tribute event, Raspberry Jam. Get ready to sing along to her timeless classics and enjoy a night of music and memories. This in-person event is a must-attend for any Carole King fan, for those who have loved her music for decades or those who are just getting familiar with this multi-Grammy award winning American songwriter and performer.  
  
SPECIAL FOR THE 2026 PROGRAM --- The Raspberry Jam Band is honoring the 55th anniversary of both albums that were released in 1971: the iconic & influential "Tapestry" as well as King's third record, "Music", which was released a mere ten months after "Tapestry". To pay homage to the rich catalogue of influential chart-topping hits contained within the "Tapestry" songlist, the tunes from that album will be performed exclusively during the second set. Don't miss out on this unforgettable evening!
