Fort Stevenson State Park

Join us for a fun-filled, family-friendly evening at the Garrison Bay Marina as we combine two exciting events into one unforgettable night!

Bring the whole family to Fort Stevenson State Park for EMS Kids on Saturday, August 15, from 4 to 7 p.m. Enjoy an afternoon of free food, games, activities and opportunities to meet local first responders and community organizations.

Kids can participate in the Kid’s Dice-n-Dash by picking up a card at the Garrison-Max Ambulance poker table. Visit participating booths to collect cards and enter for prizes. Prize drawings begin at 4:30 p.m., with larger prizes for adults and youth drawn at 6 p.m.
Free food, including hamburgers, hot dogs, chips, pop and water, will be available while supplies last. Families can also enjoy a bouncy house, games and other activities.
Bring your bike for a free tune-up and learn about bicycle safety. Free bike helmets, reflectors and educational materials will be available while supplies last.
The event will feature representatives from area emergency services, health care organizations, public safety agencies and community partners.

As the sun sets, stick around for the Lighted Boat Parade! Prizes will be awarded, and the public will help choose the winners through Facebook voting. Details will follow, so keep an eye on the park's Facebook page. Interested in entering a boat in the parade? Please contact the park office at 701-337-5576 or fssp@nd.gov for parade rules and registration information.

The event is free of charge and open to the public. An annual or daily vehicle permit is required for park entrance and can be purchased online or at the park.
