Duluth Haunted Ship 2026

Welcome to the home of the William A. Irvin Haunted Ship Tours in Duluth, Minnesota.

That hint of cool breeze you feel isn’t just a change of weather. Those are the spirits of the Duluth Haunted Ship swinging on anchor just outside your view. The ghouls on board are waiting to morph the William A. Irvin historic freighter into something truly sinister.

This season marks the 31st year of this unhallowed event, starting Friday, October 2, and runs long weekends through Halloween (plus MEA Wednesday, Oct 14).

This year, you can look forward to more activity outside of the ship on Harbor Drive— FOOD TRUCKS (every Fri & Sat), lights, bonfires, drinks available for purchase, and more.
