Coffee, Community, and Alma Cook in Williston North Dakota

Any time we get to talk about local talent, the day instantly gets better. Add coffee, community, and a brand-new music release into the mix, and suddenly you’ve got a pretty perfect Williston evening lined up.

That’s exactly what’s happening when local singer-songwriter Alma Cook hosts a casual celebration for her newest song and music video. It’s relaxed, it’s welcoming, and it’s the kind of event that reminds you why small-town music scenes are so special in the first place.

A Come-As-You-Are Evening of Music, Coffee, and Local Stories in Downtown Williston

The get-together is happening Friday, March 6, at The Fleur Cafe in downtown Williston. Doors are open from 5:30 to 7 p.m., and the vibe is very much “stop by when you can.” No tickets, no RSVP, no stress. Just show up, grab a drink or snack from the café, and settle in.

At 6:30 p.m., things get extra fun with a short music video screening followed by a live interview with Alma. It’s a chance to hear the story behind the song, learn what inspired the video, and maybe pick up a few behind-the-scenes details you won’t find scrolling online. These are the moments that make local events feel personal—because they are.

Merch, Music, and a No-Pressure Night That’s Easy to Say Yes To

There will also be limited-edition merch available for purchase (cash or Venmo), which is perfect if you like supporting artists in a very tangible, take-home-a-souvenir kind of way. And yes, all ages are welcome, so bring a friend, your parents, or that coworker who’s always saying they “should get out more.”

The café will remain open to the public during the event, so if you’re just there for the food and accidentally stumble into a music celebration, consider it a happy accident. Parking is free on nearby streets and lots, which in Williston feels like winning a small but meaningful lottery.

Bottom line: it’s free, it’s local, it’s cozy, and it’s a great excuse to support a hometown artist while enjoying one of downtown’s favorite coffee spots. If your Friday evening plans are still up in the air, this one’s an easy yes.
