The People and the Place
From budget-friendly family activities to hidden waterfalls to recommendations from locals, check out our blog for trip ideas and to learn more about what makes Duluth so special.
Midnight Kissfight & Ferrari Fast
Midnight Kissfight is an indie rock band from Duluth trying to make it sound like 2005 again. Liana Sweezer, Jesse Hoheisel, Ryan Nelson, and Kaylee Matuszak. Ferrari Fast grew up listening to too much Buddy Holly and ’90s alt-rock in a once-thriving copper mining town. They are endlessly searching for a love song in every adventure, bar crawl, and fly-on-the-wall observation. Ferrari Fast opens at 7pm. Midnight Kissfight at 8pm.
A Little Night Music
The young, the fools, and the old share top billing in A Little Night Music, which waltzes through the complexities of the human heart. Moments of humor, wit, longing, and heartbreak are set to a backdrop of masterful musical storytelling, such as in the haunting song “Send in the Clowns.” Waltz into summer with Sondheim’s beloved operetta.
