2025 North Dakota Picnic in Arizona

North Dakota Picnic in Arizona!

Almost every year, for over 50 years, thousands of North Dakotans have gathered in Mesa, AZ, for the North Dakota Picnic in early March.  It’s a fun event for friends and former neighbors who enjoy Arizona sunshine but still call North Dakota “home”.

More than 2,000 people attended the 2024 ND Picnic, held on March 3rd.  Hosted by the North Dakota Community Foundation, the event included entertainment (music by Vic Schwahn, Rick Senger, Gordy “Crazyfingers” Lindquist, Colleen Reinhardt, and Sam & the Band), 40 classic cars on display, and numerous vendor booths.  The real draw, however, is finding old friends and former neighbors in the crowd.

Check out the photos below from previous ND Picnics.  And join us in 2025 for another great gathering!
