The holiday train will make 20 stops in Minnesota and six in North Dakota. You'll be amazed as the train transforms each visit into a mini winter wonderland. Guests can enjoy live performances of holiday classics and fresh seasonal tunes, all from a stage that magically unfolds from one of the train’s cars. Think of it as your favorite holiday playlist—but with better acoustics and way more sparkle.

In North Dakota, the train will make its rounds on December 16 and 17, stopping at:

• Hankinson (Dec 16, 6:45-7:15 PM CT) – 122 1 Street
• Enderlin (Dec 16, 9:15-9:45 PM CT) – 101 Harvest Lane
• Carrington (Dec 17, 1:45-2:15 PM CT) – 601 Avenue Northeast
• Harvey (Dec 17, 4:00-4:30 PM CT) – 600 Lincoln Avenue
• Minot (Dec 17, 6:45-7:15 PM CT) – Main Street North
• Kenmare (Dec 17, 9:15-9:45 PM CT) – 1 Avenue Southwest & Central Avenue

The best part? Admission is free! But there’s a catch: attendees are encouraged to bring heart-healthy food items or cash donations to help stock local food banks. Hunger, unfortunately, doesn’t take a holiday, and your contributions can make a huge difference.

Since its inception in 1999, this moving marvel has collected over $24.3 million and 5.3 million pounds of food. So grab your warmest coat, pack some canned goods, and come join the train for a night of music, Christmas magic, and making spirits bright!
