Duluth to host monthly series of downtown block parties

Duluth has announced the start of a new series of block parties on the second Thursday of each month.

Called the “No Reason Block Party,” city officials said the parties will be held on the Town Green in downtown Duluth. The series will kick off on July 14 with a performance from “Smokey’s Farmland Band.”

The parties, which are free to the public, will be held monthly through October under a big white tent on Main Street. They will include live entertainment, family activities and food and drink vendors.
