Baked into the heart of Moorhead and its sister city, Fargo, are the common bonds of beer-safe cooking (safely grilling food with a beer in one hand) and giving your ears equal love with great tunes. Even better is having someone else wrestle up some good meat, pour a tall one and crank up the summer’s hottest playlist.

​Sister Cities Smokeout is two-full days of live music and good eats. Featuring nationally touring artists on the Main stage and some of our favorite local & regional artists on our Meadow stage! Enjoy BBQ & other food vendors along with cold beer, wine and more!
