ND Picnic in AZ : March 1, 2026

Almost every year, for over 50 years, thousands of North Dakotans have gathered in Mesa, AZ, for the North Dakota Picnic in early March.  It’s a fun event for friends and former neighbors who enjoy Arizona sunshine but still call North Dakota “home”. 

An estimated 3,000 people attended the 2025 ND Picnic, held on March 2nd.  Hosted by the North Dakota Community Foundation, the event included entertainment, classic cars on display, and numerous vendor booths.  The real draw, however, is finding old friends and former neighbors in the crowd.

The NDSCS Alumni Foundation will have a booth set up, and we would love to see you in sunny Mesa!

No RSVP required; just find our table at Red Mountain Park!
