About Us

Fergus Falls Downtown Riverfront Council is a non-profit association formed in 2015 to bring together citizens who share an interest in revitalizing  our downtown riverfront. A couple ways we are working to revitalize our downtown are with our annual Over the River Holiday Festival, our Meet Your Neighbor video series, and the annual Mayor-to-Mayor event.

The Fergus Falls Downtown Riverfront Council believes:

  • our downtown’s unique feature is our Otter Tail River. 
  • in the past, we have hidden our riverfront instead of promoting it.
  • downtown riverfront space should be used for attractions and amenities, not parking lots.
  • other Minnesota cities, large and small, have developed downtown plans that include funding and carrying out the plans, and Fergus Falls needs to do the same.
  • development will need a jump-start from a variety of sources, including the city.
  • more people living downtown, in a variety of housing options, will bring more vitality to our  downtown arts, restaurant, and entertainment scene.
  • downtown excitement is a sure way to bring more visitors to Fergus Falls, boosting our economy.
  • money spent on downtown improvements will increase the value and tax revenue of all downtown property, not just the new development.
  • our downtown needs a “town square” or “civic center” complex, and future actions and amenities should be centralized, not scattered at the edges of town.
  • riverfront green space and trails are key to the success of downtown.
  • there should be downtown lodging options for visitors to Fergus Falls.
