Summer Nights on Central

10/20/2026

Ahhh, just reminiscing about this year’s Summer Nights on Central events🥹☀️

The live music, the downtown energy, the familiar faces, the new memories, and all the little moments that made Thursday nights something to look forward to. We’re already missing it and can't wait for next year! 🫶

Annnnd that’s a wrap on an AMAZING season of Summer Nights on Central! ☀🎉

We had such a great time last night at Summer Vikes on Central, and we want to give a huge "Thank You!" to all the VCSU students, staff, and alumni, as well as every community member who showed up, supported local businesses, and helped make the evening so special.

From the Viking Walk and business booths to the food vendors and street dance, Central Avenue was full of energy, connection, and community spirit/Viking Pride. This community truly is one of the best, and we think last night proved just that! ❤

We also want thank all of our friends that made last night possible!
- All of the businesses and organizations that joined us downtown to create a space for students to connect with Valley City
- Micaiah's Studio of Ballet for their wonderful band break performance
- The City of Valley City and VCPD
- Tripwire with their rockin' live music
- Our delicious food and beverage vendors
- Johnny B's Trees
- Go Promo, New Student Orientation, VCAB, The Eagles, CHI Mercy Health, First Community Credit Union, and Handy Home & Hardware for this year's t-shirts
- Valley City State University marching band, students, and staff
- VCSU student volunteers for their tearing down the event

None of these events would be possible without the support of our amazing sponsors:
- Valley City State University
- Valley City Tourism
- Sanford Health
- Puklich Valley City And Your Heartland Chevy Dealers
- Handy Home and Hardware
- Dacotah Bank
- KLJ Engineering
- Bank Forward

We'll see you at Summer Nights on Central in 2027! 🩷💛🩵
