City Of Duluth Sets New Date For 2022 Fourth Fest

Let's try this again! Poor weather forced the the City of Duluth to cancel the annual Fourth of July celebration this year but thankfully, the show will go on. There is now a brand new date for Fourth Fest.

The holiday weekend had great weather for the most part until the fourth, where in true Northland fashion we saw rain, fog and overall dreary conditions. Sadly, a bunch of other big festivities were cancelled for the day, including Superior's big annual celebration.

At the time of writing, there is no official word on when Superior will be holding their Fourth of July activities. However, when they pulled the plug on the event on the actual holiday itself, they reassured residents they were eyeing a new date and would announce a rescheduled date in the future.

There were a bunch of other local celebrations in the Northland all weekend long so hopefully you were able to catch some fireworks shows leading up the actual holiday! There were fireworks shows on both Saturday and Sunday within driving distance of Duluth.
