Year-Round Gathering Space

Citizens Alley, located behind the newly renovated 1st & Central building, is a vibrant pedestrian-only corridor that blends Minot’s historic charm with modern amenities. Designed as a community hub, this downtown gem offers family-friendly events and activities throughout the year.

One of the highlights of Citizens Alley is its winter transformation into a state-of-the-art ice skating rink. Perfectly sized for two curling sheets, two mite hockey rinks, or public leisure skating, this temperature-controlled rink provides a unique destination for winter fun. Whether you're gliding on the ice or enjoying seasonal entertainment, the rink is sure to become a favorite spot for both locals and visitors.

With additional plans for turf lawns, fountains, public art, and more in summer 2025, Citizens Alley is redefining community space in downtown Minot—where history meets year-round excitement.
