Friends of the Lindaas Barn Dance
The Lindaas Barn Dance remains a free event open for all ages to enjoy. In 2023, we became a non-profit organization, created for the purpose of continuing these dances for years to come. We would appreciate your support as it allows us to help with maintaining the facility as well as supporting our local musicians.
Become a Friend of the Lindaas Barn Dance with a seasonal membership and help support the tradition of the Lindaas Barn Dance.
Individual Membership: $20
Family Membership: $30
Booster Level Membership: $100
Want to advertise for your business or give in honor or memory of a loved one? Become a sponsor at one of three levels, and you'll have your own signage on display at the east end of the barn.
For more information, send us a message on Facebook, email, or talk to Lute Simley.

Expanding Access for All
A Community Invitation to Help Make History More Inclusive
Our Mission
The Friends of Lindaas Barn Dance are dedicated to building community through live music and dance at the historic Lindaas Barn—a welcoming venue open to dancers and music lovers of all ages.
Our Story in Brief
Founded in 2023, our group carries on a tradition that began in 1989, when Elroy Lindaas hosted musicians and dancers from across North Dakota in his family barn. Over the years, with community support, we’ve added a dance floor, modern restrooms, improved lighting, air conditioning, and a sound system. Today, our family-friendly dances (held June–September) draw people of all ages, fostering connection and celebrating local heritage.
2026 Lift Project
We invite you to join us in making the historic Lindaas Barn in rural Mayville, ND, fully accessible for everyone. The Friends of Lindaas Barn Dance, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, is launching a fundraising campaign to install a wheelchair/people lift. This vital improvement will ensure all guests, regardless of mobility, can enjoy the music, dancing, and fellowship that make our barn a special place.
Project Outcomes and Accountability
With your help, we aim to:
-
Enhance accessibility so everyone can participate, regardless of ability.
-
Broaden access to free, live music and dance for all.
-
Strengthen our entire community by preserving a cherished gathering place.
Thank you for considering a donation to the Friends of Lindaas Barn Dance. Your support helps us celebrate our heritage and build a more inclusive community. Please reach out through our email: lindaasbarndance @gmail.com with questions or to discuss your gift.
