Free Wednesday Nights

August 12, 2020 @ 5:00 pm - 10:00 pm

 

CAMPFIRES, LOCAL BEER, MUSIC, FOOD TRUCKS, & ICE CREAM

*Health & Safety measures in place*

July & August Wednesday nights
5:00 pm – 10:00 pm

Grounds admission is free and open to the public

Access to buildings is not included.

 

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.

We highly recommend pairing the Free Wednesday Nights with a tour of the mansion. Take an afternoon tour then head down to the lake for an evening by the shore. Learn more about tour offerings.
