Map

The Hjemkomst Center is located on the banks of the Red River of the North at 202 First Avenue North in Moorhead, Minnesota just across the river from Fargo, North Dakota in the heart of Downtown Fargo and Moorhead.

Directions from Interstate 29
Take Exit 65 or Main Avenue. Travel east towards Downtown Fargo and Moorhead (several blocks). When you reach Second Street in Fargo (before you cross the Red River) take a left (north), drive one block and take a right (east) onto the First Avenue North bridge. The Hjemkomst Center is located on the left (north) just after you cross the river. The Moorhead Center Mall and American Crystal Sugar parking lots are located on Third Street (turn right or south) off First Avenue North in Moorhead.

Directions from Interstate 94
Take Exit 1 or Highway 75 or Eighth Street. Travel north towards Downtown Moorhead. When you eventually reach First Avenue North (after crossing two sets of railroad tracks) take a left (west) and drive to Third Street. If you wish to park in the Moorhead Center Mall or American Crystal Sugar parking lots, take a left (south) here. If you wish to drive on to the Hjemkomst Center, it is located a bit further west where you’ll find the entrance on your right (north). If you cross the Red River into Fargo, you’ve gone too far!

Parking Recommendations and Free Shuttle Bus
The Hjemkomst Center parking lot fills up fast but is the best place to park. There are several handicapped parking spots available there as well.

Also consider the Moorhead Center Mall Lot located on Third Street between First Avenue North and Center Avenue in Moorhead. The parking lot at American Crystal Sugar is also available on Saturday and Sunday during the festival. A shuttle bus will circulate regularly if you wish a free ride to the Hjemkomst Center or you may choose to walk the block to the Hjemkomst Center. Please cross traffic at the stop light as First Avenue North is a very busy street!

If you are traveling with an RV, we highly recommend that you park at the Moorhead Center Mall parking lot. It will ease your parking situation!
