The Forks

A tourist attraction on the Red River. The Forks Market offers fresh and specialty foods, and more than 50 unique shops housed in an eclectic and historic building that was built to be a horse stable. The market has an excellent food court with various ethnic food options. Head to the hayloft for handicrafts and one-of-a-kind items including clothing, artisan-inspired gifts, jewellery and toys. In the winter you can rent ice skates and go skating down the Red River. In the summer, there are special events and outdoor entertainment almost daily, some fantastic patios and outdoor bars.
