Downtown Fargo Holiday Gift Guide
By Katie Spokely
Downtown Fargo offers an unmatched array of exciting and thoughtful gifts! From experiences, to food and drinks, to physical, “unwrappable” gifts, downtown Fargo has it all. Not only is it convenient and unique, but shopping downtown means that your holiday spending is supporting local businesses and community members. In addition, a list of organizations that accept donations or host volunteers can be found at the bottom of the page if the season of giving has you feeling eager to give back.

For all those groaning at the thought of attempting to pick out a perfect gift, the new Downtown Fargo Gift Card lets the holder shop at more than 50 different downtown businesses with one card. Visit this link for more information on locations accepting the gift card and where to purchase.
Finally, when doing your downtown shopping, remember: parking at Roberts Garage is free for the first 2 hours. Navigate to Roberts Garage, park, and enjoy strolling from shop to shop with no parking stress.
