Duluth Celebrates the Season with New Winter-Themed Event

Cold Front February Kicks Off with Frigid Fun

DULUTH, Minn. – The City of Duluth is celebrating the season with a brand new winter-themed event.

Cold Front February will last throughout the month, but the first weekend, February 1-4, will be full of fun to kick-off the celebration.

This will all focus on the Canal Park and Lake Place Park area of Duluth.

Senior City Planner Steven Robertson says this is a great way to get people outdoors and enjoying all the city has to offer during the winter.

Some of the features will be a sledding hill, food vendors, beer samples, and pop up shops.

There will even be bonfires with s’mores, snowball fights and an ice skating rink.

Along with the creation of Cold Front February, the city is moving forward with Imagine Duluth 2035 plans.
