Bluestem Amphitheater

Experience live music like never before at the beautiful Bluestem Amphitheater.

More than just a music venue, Bluestem is a quintessential Fargo-Moorhead experience where some of the best memories are made. Each summer, thousands of music fans gather from near and far to take in the variety of acts booked at the amphitheater. There truly is something for everyone.

Nestled along the Red River of the North in Moorhead, MN, Bluestem Amphitheater features an outdoor stage with seating for 3,000. The venue is a key element of Bluestem Center for the Arts, a first-class arts facility that also offers a unique indoor educational center, serving as a performance venue available for rent. The Center’s beautiful grounds are made up of picturesque river views, grassy meadows, woods, and wildlife.

Bluestem Center for the Arts is the home of Trollwood Performing Arts School, a testament to our region’s unfaltering commitment to the arts. Opening its doors in 2009, the Center was built with the generous support of the entire Fargo-Moorhead community.

The venue represents an exciting collaboration between Fargo Public Schools and the City of Moorhead. It is programmed and managed by Trollwood Performing Arts School, a program of Fargo Public Schools, which leases the facility from the City of Moorhead.

Bluestem Center for the Arts hosts many programs that inspire a love for the arts in community members of all ages. The facility is used for school arts curriculum and activities, public performances, exhibitions, community festivals, corporate retreats, conferences, and other private rental opportunities. Since opening, thousands of patrons have enjoyed a broad range of programming including theatre, arts educational opportunities, concerts, dance, music, and special events.
