EVENT DETAILS
RIBBON CUTTING & DEDICATION CEREMONY
Join Folkways and VFW Post 762 as we celebrate the completion of the America 250 Mural with a public ribbon cutting and dedication ceremony!
Created in honor of America's 250th anniversary, the America 250 Mural celebrates American history, recognizes veteran service, and transforms Roberts Alley into a lasting civic landmark. Designed by Fargo artist Meg Felix and installed in partnership with Upper Hand Signs, the mural reflects Folkways' belief that public art brings people together, preserves our shared history, and creates places where communities connect.
The dedication ceremony will feature remarks from Joe Burgum, Lesleyanne Wild, Admiral Stewart Munsch, and Mayor-elect Josh Boschee, followed by a ceremonial ribbon cutting, group photo, and light refreshments.
About the project:
The mural, located in Roberts Alley behind the VFW Post 762 building, will honor American history, recognize veteran service, and create a lasting civic landmark in downtown Fargo. Designed by artist Meg Felix and led by Folkways resident artist Lesleyanne Wild, the project will feature classic Americana imagery in the American Traditional tattoo style, including an eagle on a shield of arms, Lady Liberty, and the iconic North Dakota bison on a VFW crest.
