The holidays are a great time of the year for many reasons. Other than family time, gift-giving, and general cheer, there are also many beautiful decorations and light displays. One of the magical parts of Christmas is walking down a city's main street and seeing all the businesses decorated, the lights along the rooftops, and getting the full "silver bells" feeling. This particular North Dakota city has the perfect, most enchanting downtown area during the holidays. Let's cruise the holiday-filled streets of Minot, North Dakota.
Visit the Magic City of Minot, North Dakota during Christmastime and you'll be in a holiday wonderland. Every year, the downtown area brings the magic of Christmas to life with holiday decorations and lights.
