Minnesota Venue On Lake Superior Releases New Summer Event Lineup

For Northland residents and tourists alike, no summer is complete without a visit to Bayfront Festival Park in Duluth.

Bayfront Festival Park isn't just one of Duluth’s most beautiful public parks, with an unbeatable location on the shores of Lake Superior, it's one of the best public parks in Minnesota.

It's a great place to hang out with family and friends to view ships from around the world entering the harbor under the Aerial Lift Bridge, as the kids enjoy that huge and innovative playground.

It's even better when special events are happening, which is often the case, especially during the summer.
