Calling all LOCAL MUSICIANS and ARTISTS!
We at Laughing Sun Brewing have always prided ourselves on supporting our Local Bismarck-Mandan Art and Music scene and we are looking to continue to grow that community! ???
• NEW MUSICIANS or AMATEURS! We are looking to host an evening where some of our home grown talented musicians can take the stage and play a set!
• LOCAL ARTISTS! Monthly we have and want to showcase YOUR artwork (paintings, photography, hangable art) on the walls inside of our Taproom. We take ZERO commission giving you the chance to be able to sell to our community!
• EVENTS, CLASSES, GAMES or GROUPS! Sundays we often have different groups of people from our community meeting or holding classes at our Taproom. Let us know and maybe we can help be a landing spot for you!
For more information, please email us at: [email protected]
We strongly believe that involvement is inevitable with the kind of interaction that good art demands. Come visit us and see what can happen!

FAYRE with Day of Bliss LIVE at Laughing Sun Brewing
1023 E Front Ave, Bismarck, ND, United States, North Dakota 58504 Map
"FAYRE: LIVE with Day Of Bliss
Get ready for a night of unforgettable music featuring FAYRE and Day of Bliss.
Opening the night is Day of Bliss, a band that channels the spirit of the 1990s and early 2000s alternative and grunge scene. Drawing inspiration from iconic bands like Nirvana, their sound is packed with powerful riffs, driving chords, and the raw energy that defined a generation. If you're a fan of grunge and alternative rock, you won't want to miss them.
Then prepare for FAYRE. Coining the term “Enchantmetal,” FAYRE has forged a sound entirely their own—blending the darkness of gothic metal, the infectious melodies of new wave, and the emotional depth of grunge into a theatrical, fantasy-inspired experience. Immersive, captivating, and unlike anything else, FAYRE delivers a performance that transports audiences into a world of magic, mystery, and metal.

Riley Downing of The Deslondes is stopping at Laughing Sun Brewing while out on the road!
With Sam Hall & Kit Pines warming the night up.
Born in North Carolina and raised in small-town Holt, Missouri, Downing cut his teeth at warehouse punk shows in Kansas City before eventually moving to New Orleans. In Louisiana, he joined forces with Sam Doores, John James Tourville and other likeminded musicians to form The Tumbleweeds, a band that morphed into sought-after swamp-country outfit The Deslondes, one of the coolest bands in Americana that tours & releases music today. When not swapping songs on stage with his Deslondes bandmates, Downing lends his burly baritone voice to a solo career that includes 2021 album Start It Over and the forthcoming follow-up, Landfill Poetry.
