Whose ready for North Dakota's legendary concert of the year?
Greetings, everyone! We would like to invite you all to come and join us for the Ryan Keplin Summer Fest. It is three days of fun-filled, family-oriented country and fiddle music celebration that takes place every year. This event will get your heart pumping with jigging, fiddling, square dancing, evening entertainment, workshops, children’s activities, and horseshoe and other contests. Primitive camping sites will also be available at the festival grounds.
The Ryan Keplin Summer Fest welcomes everyone to come, enjoy the music, and share in the celebration of Metis culture, traditions, and heritage. Our mission in making this festival happen is to promote music and the Metis customs by sharing events, fiddling, music, song, dance, and workshops designed to inspire attendees to learn about, value, and preserve the rich traditions of the Metis people.
- Ryan and Jennifer Keplin
