Get ready for a cozy fall weekend at Gourd Days, a family-friendly autumn celebration at Waterfront Plaza next to the DECC in Duluth.

From the creators of Duluth Winter Village, Gourd Days brings together seasonal food and drinks, local makers, shopping, kid-friendly activities, and plenty of fall fun along Harbor Drive. Guests can enjoy a pumpkin bounce house, inflatable toddler farm town, a lakeside twist on the classic hayride, pumpkins and fall photo opportunities, and spaces to relax and take in the crisp Lake Superior breeze.

The event will also feature adoptable dogs from PJ’s Rescue and the return of the popular book cabin, brought to you by the Duluth Public Library. With plenty to see, eat, and do, Gourd Days is a great way to welcome the fall season in Duluth.
