The Duluth Winter Village returns this year outside along the lake at the Duluth Entertainment Convention Center's Harbor Drive!

The outdoor winter market is designed around small businesses, our scenic city, and the holiday season. Born from the idea of making it fun, festive, and easy to support our local businesses during the holidays.
The Duluth Winter Village is a two-day festival where 40+ local small businesses sell their unique, curated goods out of custom-built wooden cabins. In addition to shopping, visitors will enjoy food and beverages from local restaurants in a heated dining space, campfires by the lake, live animals, carolers, free skating inside at the DECC, and more.
