Spring is a delightful time to visit us in Duluth. Weather and temperature can vary drastically, but it’s the beginning of a new season, and one that brings with it abundant opportunity and excitement. The air is fresh, the birds start to come out, and no matter what the weather does, Duluth’s attractions are open and ready to welcome you. Shipping season in Duluth opens on March 25, heralding in the season, and bringing back one of Duluth’s most popular pastimes; shipwatching. From Duluth’s popular Lakewalk or Canal Park, watch as these giant ships glide into Duluth’s harbor under the iconic Aerial Lift Bridge. There’s nothing quite like it.

If the weather remains cold, tour Duluth’s Glensheen Mansion, or catch a show at the recently renovated Norshore Theater or The Duluth Playhouse. Catch up with the latest exhibits at the Tweed Museum of Art, which is located on the campus of UMD. A delightful place to spend the afternoon is the recently revived Lincoln Park Craft District, which is home to a number of breweries and other artisans.
