For the first time in forever, experience the magic of Disney’s Frozen at the historic Norshor Theatre. Based on the Academy Award-winning animated feature film, the hit Broadway musical includes all the songs you know and love, including “For the First Time in Forever,” “Do You Want to Build a Snowman?” and “Let it Go,” along with new music written exclusively for the stage. Full of humor, thrilling surprises, and a stunning musical score, this awe-inspiring production is a powerful tale of family, acceptance, and finding the real meaning of true love. Gather the whole family this holiday season to experience the musical phenomenon that has taken the world by storm.
Don’t lose your head! This Halloween season, the Headless Horseman gallops onto the NorShor stage in a thrilling, ensemble-driven adaptation of Washington Irving’s haunting tale! In the seemingly quiet village of Sleepy Hollow, ghost stories swirl, lanterns flicker, and something terrifying waits in the woods. When the awkward but earnest Ichabod Crane competes for the heart of the beautiful Katrina Van Tassel, local rivalries ignite, and the legend of a headless Hessian soldier looms ever larger. Perfect for fans of crisp autumn nights and a good scare, The Legend of Sleepy Hollow is a family-friendly, crowd-pleasing theatrical event you won’t want to miss.

All aboard for a fall adventure like no other — the Great Pumpkin Train! Once a year, a magical pumpkin field appears along the tracks, and the only way to reach it is by train.

Admission to the Lake Superior Railroad Museum is included, so when you’re done pumpkin-picking, you can explore trains, history, and plenty of indoor fun at the Depot like balloon twisting, ventriloquist, magic, and more. It’s a Duluth tradition that’s equal parts festive, cozy, and a little bit quirky — just like autumn itself. When your train pulls into the pumpkin patch, every ticketed passenger gets to claim their very own pumpkin to haul home. The ride lasts about 90 minutes round trip, giving you just enough time to soak in the fall colors, snap too many photos, and debate which pumpkin has the best “front porch face.” Back at the Depot,…
