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.

Battle of the Badges brings together local police officers and firefighters for an evening of friendly competition, community spirit, and giving back. What starts as a rivalry on the ice is united by one shared mission: supporting the first responders who serve our communities every day.  
  
Players from police and fire departments across the Fargo-Moorhead area trade their uniforms for hockey jerseys as they compete for bragging rights while helping raise funds for the Hometown Heroes Fund. Every ticket purchased, sponsorship secured, and dollar donated supports grants that provide lifesaving equipment, training, and critical resources for first responder and emergency service organizations throughout our region.  
  
Whether you're cheering for Team Law or Team Fire, every fan helps make a difference.
