Bismarck to Celebrate 150th Anniversary

 150 Years of Tradition and Innovation

We want to extend a big thank you to all who participated in the Band Night Parade and Bismarck’s 150th Anniversary Kickoff Celebration. All who took part made it a very special event and a historic day to remember!  

As the year progresses, there will be more official and unofficial summer-long celebrations, activities, and events for residents and visitors to enjoy. You're invited to join us to celebrate and honor Bismarck’s rich history! Our vision is to showcase “Bismarck’s the spot” for people who enjoy living, learning, working, and playing in a city with an enduring sense of community pride.

“History & Mystery Scavenger Hunts” will take place throughout the summer. The hunts are powered by Yondar, an interactive map that allows visitors to explore our community (and our world) using augmented reality wayfinding. Scavenger hunts will be available at six (6) anniversary events to be held throughout the year.
