Next top Must-Attend Events in North Dakota for June and July 2023

With its rolling hills and endless prairie land, North Dakota is a state that seems to have changed little since the time that Native Americans first inhabited it. The state is not densely populated; Fargo, the state's biggest city, has just over 100,000 people. However, the state has seen a recent economic surge with the development of new oil extraction techniques. Despite the state's sparse population, there's plenty to see and do in North Dakota, ranging from cultural festivals to art exhibits.

The state's main outdoor attraction is Theodore Roosevelt National Park, full of scenic driving routes, horse trails, wildlife viewing areas and campgrounds. The wildlife that call this national park home include bison, wild horses, mountain lions and bighorn sheep. The Arrowwood National Refuge provides a safe habitat for breeding and nesting for over 100 species of birds. Visitors can take a self-guided tour of the refuge and stop at observation decks to watch the birds.

The North Dakota Heritage Center, located in Bismarck, is a good place to stop to learn more about the natural and human history of the state. Visitors can begin their tour with the dinosaur exhibit to learn more about the giant creatures that once roamed across North Dakota. Visitors can travel to the modern day and the future at the Gateway to Science Center, also located in Bismarck. Designed for all ages, the center includes exhibits about butterflies, robots and electricity.

North Dakota was once populated by the Northern Plains Indians, and the Knife River Indian Villages preserve their history and help visitors better understand the culture of the tribes. Visitors can explore the remains of the villages and see recreations of some of the buildings. In Fargo, the Plains Art Museum pays tribute to the original dwellers of North Dakota through displays of traditional and folk artwork.
