The City of Duluth is excited to announce the 2023 event schedule. As always, this year’s lineup has a little bit of something for everyone, including food trucks, concerts, movies and more!

The event season will kick off in March with the Duluth Farmers & Artisan Market. In addition to shopping with local vendors on the 2nd & 4th Sunday of every month through November, each market features live music. Community favorite Flicks on the Bricks returns with a free movie under the stars on August 4 & 18.

Fridays-N-Duluth (FND) kicks off May 26 from 6-9pm in Downtown Duluth and runs through the end of July. FND will feature live music, food trucks and vendors. Themed nights will return on Fridays that fall on an even date. Themes will include Dog Days of Summer, Pride, Kick-Off to the Fourth, Whimsical Wonderland and International Night. The Lantern Parade will be included in International Night on July 28.

Signature events such as Back-to-School Bubblepalooza, Howl on the Green, Deck the Hall and Cookies & Cocoa with Santa will all be back for 2023. Other community favorites returning this year include Duluth Derby Day, Duluth on Tap the Duluth Spring Arts Festival, Duluth Rotary Car Show, Good Word Brewing (GWB) Presents Little Beer, S.T.E.A.M. and GWB Presents Les Bon.

Duluth’s Art Month will take place in August. Art-centered activities will include Seek Duluth, a community art project, various art classes at the Festival Center, the DFAL Art Walk and more!

We will be bringing back the Las Vegas glitz and glam on July 8 at Viva Las Duluth. The main stage will play host to all your favorite Vegas strip performances, including magicians, cirque-style dancers and impersonators.

Pop-up events remain a popular addition to the lineup. A Valentine’s Day pop-up is scheduled for February 14 from 4-8pm and will feature Nancy’s Flower Truck, live music and a photo-op. Be sure to follow our social media and be the first to know when a new pop-up is announced!
