"A lot of money is raised because of the Fall Festival and this money is put back into the community. Not only is it a lot of fun to put on for people to enjoy, but the end result pays back into the City of Duluth." - Kay Montgomery, Fall Festival Committee Member
The Duluth Fall Festival offers wholesome entertainment in a safe, family friendly atmosphere. It's one of Gwinnett Place Ford's favorite events each year because it promotes local business and the beautification of downtown Duluth, while providing a wide range of fun activities for parents and kids to enjoy.
This year, the festival will take place from Saturday, Sept. 27 through Sunday, Sept. 28, 2014, but remember: The carnival opens two days earlier on the 25th!
The festival will feature over 20 free performances from great local music and dance acts, and for all of you thrill seekers out there, buy-one-get-one-free Unlimited Ride Armbands will be on sale at the Carnival Midway! This exclusive deal is only available on the 25th and 26th from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m., so mark your calendars if you don't want to miss out.
Along with live performances, fun rides and carnival games, the Duluth Fall Festival will also feature numerous vendors; a street parade on Saturday the 27th; inflatables, slides and bounce houses at the Kid's Korner; and a silent auction where you can bid on a wide selection of merchandise, which has been donated by local businesses and festival vendors.
In addition, the annual 5K Road Race will take place on Sunday, Sept. 28. Click here to sign up! Proceeds from the race will benefit the Historic Strickland House and Duluth Historical Society.
