Duluth Loves Local doesn’t just cover the local scene — we help create it. These are the events we build and brand to bring the Twin Ports community together.
First full weekend in December
Duluth Winter Village
Our flagship cold-weather market: a European-inspired winter village of local makers, food, warm drinks and twinkling lights that started on the historic Glensheen grounds and grew to Harbor Drive. Thousands turn out each year to shop local and kick off the gift-giving season.
September · At the DECC
Gourd Days
A fall celebration of all things gourd — pumpkins, food trucks, local vendors, boat hay rides and autumn fun. Family-friendly, delightfully seasonal, and unmistakably Duluth.
Summer · Bayfront Festival Park
Flock Art Fest
Bringing Twin Ports artists and makers together to show, sell and share their work — a day of local creativity, color and community on Duluth’s Bayfront.
