Heritage Days is a wonderful way to celebrate the rich culture of our ancestors. Heritage days actually started July 1-3, 1976 with 100 years of Agriculture in East Grand Forks. This was also the year that America celebrated 200 years of freedom. The souvenir/admission button is only $7 at the gate, $6 if bought early, for both days and kids 12 years old and younger are FREE with parents. Heritage Village is located at Highway 220 N & 20th Street NE, East Grand Forks.
