About the city
Duluth, a city at the western end of Lake Superior in Minnesota, combines a striking Great Lakes waterfront with a diverse selection of entertainment and events. Duluth Entertainment Convention Center (DECC) and AMSOIL Arena are among the city's most important venues for concerts, sporting competitions, exhibitions and other major gatherings, while additional events take place at sports grounds and smaller venues throughout the city. The concentration of major venues near downtown and the waterfront allows visitors to easily combine attending an event with restaurants, accommodation and other attractions in Duluth.
An important part of getting around the city is the Duluth Transit Authority (DTA), whose bus network connects downtown with different parts of Duluth, including the airport area. The system's main hub is the Duluth Transportation Center (DTC) in downtown Duluth, providing a practical starting point for continuing toward the waterfront district and major event venues. Travelers arriving by air use Duluth International Airport (DLH), while Interstate 35 provides convenient road access to the city. DECC and AMSOIL Arena are located along Harbor Drive, close to downtown and the Canal Park visitor district, placing many attractions within walking distance or a short ride.
Before or after a concert or sporting event, it is worth exploring Canal Park, one of Duluth's most recognizable areas along the Lake Superior waterfront. Nearby attractions include the iconic Aerial Lift Bridge, the Duluth Ship Canal and the Lake Superior Maritime Visitor Center, while the Lakewalk offers opportunities for walking or cycling along the lake. Views of the harbor, ships and the broad expanse of Lake Superior give Duluth a distinctive character and make attending an event part of a wider experience of this northern Minnesota city.
