Today, we share in the heartbreak of seeing Jade Presents close its doors after decades of bringing unforgettable experiences, music, and community to the Fargo-Moorhead area.
For many years, our team at Jade Nielsen Properties worked behind the scenes alongside Jade Presents and Nocturnal Resources — building stages, maintaining grounds, preparing venues, solving problems, and doing whatever it took to make events happen. We are incredibly proud of the work, memories, and relationships that came from being part of something that meant so much to this community.
While this loss is deeply felt, this is not the end for us.
Jade Nielsen Properties and Nocturnal Resources are not going anywhere. We will continue to grow, adapt, and push forward with the same hardworking crew and dedication that has carried us through every challenge before.
As we turn the page into this next chapter, we are actively looking for new construction, property maintenance, repair, debris removal, clean up, and project opportunities throughout the Fargo-Moorhead area. We have an awesome crew that knows how to work hard, solve problems, and get things done right.

After more than 30 years of bringing live entertainment to our community, it is with deep heartbreak that we share that Jade Presents is closing its doors.

Since day one, we knew this industry has operated on faith and momentum. The impact, the joy, the community building, and the shared experiences made that worth it. Which is why this ending is so incredibly painful.

For more than three decades, Jade Presents had the privilege of creating live experiences that brought people together. These events were never just concerts to us. They were memories, traditions, community gathering points, and shared experiences that mattered deeply to our audiences, partners, and team.

The reality is that the live entertainment industry changed dramatically over the past several years. Rising costs, shifting touring economics, post-COVID challenges, and increasing pressure on independent promoters created an environment that ultimately became unsustainable. Our team fought incredibly hard to keep this going for as long as possible, and we are proud of the passion, sacrifice, and heart that went into that effort.

There are still many moving parts, ongoing conversations, and unanswered questions we are actively working through as logistical and legal details continue to evolve. Because legal matters are still unfolding, we cannot yet provide definitive information regarding ticketing, refunds, reimbursements, credits, claims, or related processes. We understand those questions are important, and we will continue sharing verified information as we are able.

At this time, we can confirm that Bluestem and UP District Festival Field shows will not be moving forward. Fargo Theatre and Aquarium events remain uncertain, and we will communicate updates on those as soon as we are able. We are sharing what we know now because transparency matters, even when the full picture is still coming into focus.

Questions may be directed to [email protected]. Due to the number and nature of anticipated inquiries, Jade Presents may not be able to respond individually. Subject to legal and practical limitations, Jade Presents will endeavor to provide additional updates through public announcements or other appropriate channels.

Beyond the logistics, there is a very human side to this moment. We are mourning the loss of a company, a mission, and work we genuinely loved.

To everyone who supported Jade Presents over the years: thank you. We are heartbroken but deeply grateful for the artists, audiences, partners, venues, vendors, sponsors, employees, and community members who believed in what Jade Presents was building and were part of this journey.

Got a bunch of fresh black dirt down at UP District Festival Field. The crew’s been out leveling everything and getting it prepped — hoping this is the year we finally get that lush grass dialed in. Already ahead of where we were last year… let’s keep it rolling. 🌱 🦄

Couple more good ones in the books at the Civic with Yelawolf, That Mexican OT, Prof, Tech N9ne, and E-40. Today we hauled everything back to the shop and got reset. Ready for the next one. Hopefully many more to come.

Little history lesson 😂

Aerial from 1963 and yep… this pretty much explains why we still find so many rocks out here. Turns out the field has been collecting surprises for a long time.

Every season we dig a little deeper, clean a little more, and keep making it better.

Year three of working toward lush grass at . It’s still a work in progress, but Carlos, Keenan, and Ben have been hand-raking the entire field this year to give the grass a head start and help it pop this summer.

Busy at the shop this week! Ben and Carlos are up in the loft building out rooms and painting, while Keenan and Bill are getting the dump truck cleaned up and fixing the front end. And trust us… don’t mess with Bill when he’s working with fiberglass 😂
