Tune in to Forks
Yes, our two Forks are packed with grand flavor and fun but we’re also tuned in to some of the best music in the Upper Midwest.
Whether it be rowdy country tunes, rockin’ ballads or those sing-along classic songs everyone knows and loves, Grand Forks, ND and East Grand Forks, MN are one hot ticket! If you’re a fan of live music, we have several establishments and events that will get you up out of your seat.
