Minot hosts the Norsk Høstfest from September 25-28, the largest Scandinavian festival in North America, featuring performances, crafts, and Norwegian heritage. For fall foliage lovers, popular spots like the Turtle Mountains and Red River Valley offer breathtaking views. Families can enjoy pumpkin patches and corn mazes at local farms, such as Papa's Pumpkin Patch in Bismarck and Lost in the Valley Corn Maze in Fargo.
