The Medora Musical is performed live and outside. That means we experience North Dakota’s weather – from stunning sunsets to sudden showers. Our team makes every effort to present each performance as fully as possible while keeping our guests and performers safe.

Because North Dakota weather can change quickly, shows are never canceled in advance. If weather impacts your performance, please watch your email for real-time updates from our team regarding delays or changes.

If a show is canceled or stopped due to weather, shows lasting less than 60 minutes are considered “rained out.” 

For any rained-out performance, each paid ticket holder will receive two vouchers, valid for any Medora Musical performance this year or next year.

If your show is rained out, you’ll receive an email with a form to request your vouchers.
