“Beware when the great God lets loose a thinker on this planet.”

– American Essayist Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-1882).

After 40 years of experience and a solid year of preparation, Duluth Fall Festival is almost here!  It will be on Saturday and Sunday, September 28-29,  in downtown Duluth.  It begins on Saturday morning with a huge parade, followed by the opening ceremony.  

There will be hundreds of booths of arts and crafts, food, sponsors, etc., with entertainment on two stages.  Sunday starts with a Road Race at 8 a.m., followed by ‘Worship on the Green’ by Duluth First United Methodist Church.  The kid’s area is better than ever with a huge new petting zoo and more  inflatables.  Take our FREE shuttle service from area schools, and you won’t have to worry about parking at all.
