A Night to Gather • A Future to Build
Join us for OctoberWest, where German-inspired flavors, live music, and a little mid-west hospitality come together for a night celebrating, and supporting, the Morton Mandan Public Library.
OctoberWest supports two exciting projects on the horizon: a new Bookmobile to keep library services moving throughout Morton County and the Creativity Studio, a new space for making, learning, exploring, and bringing ideas to life.
Savor an evening brought to life by Das Mountain, Dialectic, and Black Lions, with food and beverages followed by live music from North Dakota singer-songwriter Chuck Suchy.
OctoberWest is a chance to gather with friends, enjoy some of the best our community has to offer, and celebrate a library that continues to grow, create, and connect.
Come hungry. Stay for the music. Raise a glass to the library.
Your ticket includes food, entertainment, and a memorable evening supporting the future of MMPL.
