Events
good times on the great lake
In Duluth, we don’t believe in boredom. With 12 months of festivals and fun-filled events, our calendar is packed with great times all year long and all across the city.
Bentleyville Tour of Lights
Bayfront Festival Park – Bentleyville Tour of Lights is a walk through holiday lighting extravaganza! We take over Bayfront Festival Park, on the shores of Lake Superior in Downtown Duluth, and decorate it with over 5,000,000 lights! We are very popular and we often see large crowds. Many guests prefer to visit later in the evening or on weeknights.

Vinyl Night—Taylor’s Version
We’re partnering with our friends at Hucklebeary Gift Shop and Hoops Brewing to fill the evening with Taylor Swift on vinyl, a bracelet making station (free of charge!) by Huckleberry Gift Shop, and a list of cocktails and mocktails specially crafted for the occasion. Come prepared with Taylor knowledge for a round of trivia with prizes that any fan would love.
Prank Williams | Live on the Cosmic Stage!
“These guys are slightly vaudevillian in their approach to the audience. They get everyone engaged and waiting for what may come next. One member of the crowd compared them to the Smothers Brothers of 70’s fame-firstly they are musicians, but there will be loads of jokes and stories. They play off each other, but watch it, you may unknowingly become part of the show.” – Amy Werner, Trempealeau Hotel and Stage in Trempealeau, WI
