ABOUT

Holiday Lights at the Fairgrounds is a drive-through lights experience that will delight and bring out the holiday spirit for all ages to enjoy! A variety of holiday themed displays that will light up the night! The Red River Valley Fair Association now owns and operate the Holiday Lights display that was formerly operated by the FM Sertoma Club in Lindenwood Park. The Holiday Lights attraction, known for its Christmas lights displays was owned and operated by the Fargo-Moorhead Sertoma Club for over 20 years.

BIGGER AND BETTER! The Red River Valley Fair Association has partnered with Christmas Decor to make your Holidays even brighter this year! With RGB effect lighting, animated displays, multiple drive through tunnels, and much more spread over 1.5 miles! A portion of the proceeds will still be given to the FM Sertoma Club for their service projects! Non-profit and youth organizations helping work will also be given a portion of the proceeds each night!
