Unity in the Community

Duluth Public Schools started the Unity In Our Community back-to-school event held at Bayfront Festival Park in 2022. Each year we celebrate our students, staff, families, and district. At this event, we have booths, speakers, school and community groups performing on stage, fun activities for kids, and so much more.

We also continue to have a free backpack giveaway for families who need it provided by Neighborhood Youth Services and provide a free meal to all who attend. We also pay for transportation hubs around the city using our buses to help break down barriers.

The 2025 event will be at Bayfront Festival from 3:30-7pm on Monday, August 18, 2025.

Join us at 4pm for a free 1-mile Fun Run hosted by Grandma’s Marathon and Duluth Community Education! Registration is now open! Register for the fun run now!
