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!
The Duluth Entertainment Convention Center (DECC) will host a series of listening sessions in August to gather regional input on the organization’s direction for facility programming and capital investment priorities. The facilitated 90-minute sessions will gather viewpoints from the public, regional partners, stakeholders, and elected leaders to discuss the DECC’s future. All feedback will be presented to the DECC’s board of directors to guide decisions on growth and programming to serve the needs of the region. Background: Two years ago, DECC staff worked with a national consultant to review its overall operation. After many discussions, it was evident that the DECC needed a clearer sense of its public purpose. Once this process is complete, the DECC will be able to better focus on serving the needs of the region and more clearly communicate its purpose to external audiences. Meetings at: Monday, August 18th | 3:30 PM | Tettegouche State Park Tuesday,…
