Casselton Summerfest is powered by the creativity and generosity of our community—and there’s still time to get involved!

Self-hosted events don’t require any coordination or funding from the Summerfest committee, but registering ensures your event is:

• Included in Summerfest informational materials

• Promoted on the website and social media

• Easier for the public to find and attend

Not sure what to host? Here are a variety of ideas that work well for businesses, nonprofits, and local groups—big or small:

• Games or kids’ crafts – Create fun, low-cost stations families will love.

• Ice cream socials or lemonade stands – Great for youth groups or nonprofits looking to raise funds and smiles.

• Tours, tastings, or pop-up demos – Let people experience your product or service in a hands-on way.

• Fitness classes, fun runs, or community challenges – Lead a group walk, yoga class, or family-friendly race.

• Photo booths or themed selfie stations – Set up a fun backdrop and props for people to snap pictures and tag your business.

• Chalk art contests or sidewalk decorating zones – Let kids (or adults!) unleash their creativity while promoting your spot.

• Scavenger Hunt – A city-wide hunt featuring historical clues and fun challenges. 

• Pet Parade – Let families bring their pets with fun awards for best-dressed critter.

• Open mic, live music, or talent hour – Showcase local performers in your space or on your lawn.

• Try-it stations – Let people test out your products or services (samples, mini massages, chair fittings, etc.).

• Customer appreciation event – Use Summerfest as a chance to thank your regulars with refreshments or a small gift.

Summerfest thrives on community-led ideas. If you’re planning something, let us know!
