Experience Glensheen’s Lake Superior shoreline and grounds every Wednesday night in July & August from 5:00 pm – 10:00 pm for a perfect Duluth evening.
There will be local drinks, local food truck grub, and local Love Creamery ice cream available for purchase. Plus, guests will enjoy lakeside campfires, and a musician playing on the pier to make for a perfect Duluth night at Minnesota’s greatest historic estate. Grab dinner from a local food truck then savor the local favorite, Love Creamery ice cream for dessert at our ice cream cabin on the shore.
Watch the sunset over Lake Superior next to a campfire while you sip a local beer like a Castle Danger Cream Ale or a signature drink from Vikre Distillery. Glensheen is the only legal location in Duluth to get this close to Lake Superior with a drink. So don’t miss your chance!
To top it all off, there will be a physically-distanced local musician playing on the pier. So yes, Concerts on the Pier fans, you will get a tiny sliver of your wish.
