Fargo Roper Romp & Shop!

Fargo-Moorhead, get dressed up in those retro caftans, pile on the vintage costume jewelry, don those red curly wigs, and have a great time at the First Annual Roper Romp & Shop in downtown Fargo, ND!

A Roper Romp is a whimsical, flamboyant, community event where participants dress up as Helen Roper from the 1970s and 80s sitcom "Three's Company".

While Mrs. Roper predates "The Golden Girls" by several decades, she was an unconventional older female character, espousing unconditional love and aging boldly with a special blend of maternal, protective, and unapologetically witty qualities.

Helen rather embodies all of The Golden Girls in one flashy package!

Get ready to say, 'Hi Helen!' while traveling from one shop to another, stopping for coffee & treats, getting your nails done, having dinner at a local restaurant, enjoying evening entertainment downtown, and getting a nightcap at one of downtown's Regal Beagles.

(Of course, some folks may want to dress as Stanley, Jack, Janet, Chrissy, or other character from the show too. It's all good!)

Tickets are $19, which includes an event tote bag (a $19 value), a retro 70s selfie area, and a $5 donation to Parachigo, a vital, creative, volunteer-run third space in downtown Fargo.

Attendee Pro Tip: Take those photos & tag us on social media - and keep an eye out for little surprise contests and updates along the way!

Come & knock on our door! Downtown Fargo has so much to offer - let's all enjoy it, costume-style, in a community of friendly fun!
