City of Duluth Fourth Fest

Celebrate Independence Day at Bayfront Festival Park with Duluth Fourth Fest — the region’s biggest Fourth of July party and fireworks show. This free, family-friendly event kicks off at 4pm with food vendors, local crafts, and live music throughout the evening. Attendees are welcome to bring lawn chairs and one empty water bottle (refill stations are available), but outside food, beverages, coolers, and pets are not permitted (though service animals are warmly welcomed). The night ends with one of the most spectacular fireworks displays in the Upper Midwest, lighting up the Duluth Harbor at 10pm.

Gates open rain or shine — and yes, the views are worth it.
