Missing Music Festivals

One of the best parts of summer in the midwest are the music festivals. WeFest, 10,000 Lakes Festival, Ribfest, County Fairs, and Moondance Jam are some of the premier events around the Fargo-Moorhead area that bring in thousands of visitors from around the world each summer.

During the winter, festivals are limited in the midwest due to the harsh weather conditions. However, music lovers don't have to be left out in the cold.

The St. Barts Music Festival is an annual event, taking place this year from January 11-23. Audiences are treated to intimate concerts by some of the world’s most prominent classical, opera, ballet, and jazz stars, while being able to enjoy paradise.
