WEST FARGO, N.D. – Pack your swimsuits, grab the sunscreen, and get ready for an unforgettable evening of water-filled fun—Family Splash Pad Night at The Lights is back!
One of West Fargo’s most anticipated summer traditions, Splash Pad Night combines everything we love about long summer evenings: cooling off with the kids, reconnecting with neighbors, and enjoying the vibrant atmosphere at The Lights Plaza. Whether you’re a parent looking for a relaxing family outing or a kid looking to get soaked and silly, this event promises something for everyone.
💦 What is Family Splash Pad Night?
Hosted by West Fargo Events, Family Splash Pad Night transforms The Lights at Sheyenne 32 into a water wonderland. The centerpiece? The interactive splash pad, which features fountains, sprayers, and water jets designed to keep little ones cool while they play.
This isn’t your average playground water feature. The Lights splash pad is fully integrated into the plaza—making it easy for parents to relax nearby while the kids burn off energy. Add music, yard games, and family activities into the mix, and you’ve got a mini festival that’s free, local, and totally summer.
