Esquire Magazine listed Duluth as #3 on their 27 Best Christmas Towns to Put on Your Holiday Bucket List! With notable attractions like Bentleyville USA and Duluth Winter Village, we couldn't agree more that this is what Christmas magic looks like 
"Thousands flock to Duluth during the holidays to witness Bentleyville, a massive light display. The event is free to the public and runs through November and December. There's also a scenic train journey along Lake Superior, as well as a bustling Christmas village set up in front of the historic Glensheen mansion."
