Congrats to our friends at Drekker Brewing Company on 10 AMAZING years — and thank you for the opportunity to partner on another big, beautiful, weird AF Drekkerfest! 🍻🤘⚡️

THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! Thank you to everyone who came from near & far to make DrekkerFest X such an amazing time! The high fives, hugs and energy you bring is what fuels our fire and right now that fire is raging in the best way.

We got to hang out and party with so many amazing people from all over the place, eat like royalty, watch some killer bands and so much more. Where do we even begin?

Thank you to our INCREDIBLE crew of weirdos for pulling out all the stops and working their asses off for months to dream, scheme and put all the pieces in place for the biggest party we’ve ever thrown to go off without a hitch. We’re truly humbled to get to work with such smart, talented and just all around awesome people every day.

Thank you to the food trucks & restaurants that brought their A-game and some of the most amazing food we’ve ever had! You truly raised the bar! Driftwood Food Truck, The Barge Food Truck, Unicorn Park Fine Foodery, The Bird Woodfire Pizza, Treat Theater, Mångata Wine & Raw Bar and Starbird Lounge.

Thank you to Amarok Tattoo Studio for coming up with a bomb flash sheet, being so awesome to work with and expertly tattooing people for TWO DAYS STRAIGHT! It was so fun to see people showing off their new ink and we saw SO MANY PEOPLE join the Viking Head tattoo cult!

Thank you to Timebomb Pro Wrestling for bringing the blood, sweat and beer to the ring to help us kick this party off right Friday night!

Thank you to Big Hank, The Knotties and J Roddy Walston for putting on an absolutely killer show, and for the team at Livewire for making it look and sound so freaking good!

Thank you to Mistees Screen Printing, Punchgut, Brass Interference, 4 Luv of Dog Rescue, Fargo Pinball, Hexe Hilde, GrowArtistry and all of our amazing volunteers for hanging out and sharing what you do with everyone and doing what you do to make Fargo an awesome place!

And of course, thank you so much to the DrekkerFest X sponsors:
Office Sign Company, D-S Beverages, Urban Toad Media, Railyard Offices, Livewire, Fargo Underground, Ernest and Henning and PRRRT Worldwide

Planning for DrekkerFest 11 starts TODAY and you can bet your butts it’s just gonna get better.
