Fargo Theatre

Fargo Theatre is a movie theater in downtown Fargo with notable Art Deco elements and an illuminated marquee that stands out against the North Dakota sky. The building features a distinctive facade with characteristic details from this architectural period.

The building was constructed in 1926 by architects Buechner & Orth and was listed in the National Register of Historic Places for its architectural merit. Its construction reflected a wave of theater building during that era and continues to shape the downtown skyline today.

The theater screens independent films and hosts regular live performances for the community. Local artists and organizations use the spaces, making this a central gathering place for cultural activities in the city.

The theater has accessible seating and assistive listening devices for visitors with hearing loss. Membership programs offer regular discounts on tickets and concessions.

The illuminated marquee can be rented by visitors to display personal messages and is frequently used for marriage proposals and birthday greetings. This has made the distinctive sign a popular spot for marking special occasions.
