Summer in Duluth is here, and we’re celebrating with not one, but three incredible giveaways. Destination Duluth is giving you the chance to win tickets to two of the region’s most exciting events—the Festival of Sail and the Duluth Airshow—along with a relaxing stay at the iconic South Pier Inn, right on the edge of the canal.

July 5-6 is the Duluth Airshow; taking to the skies with thrilling aerobatics and headlining performances from the U.S. Navy Blue Angels. Our second prize drawing offers tickets to this high-flying, crowd-pleasing event.


July 10-13 The Festival of Sail Duluth returns with majestic tall ships docking along the waterfront, bringing maritime history and adventure to life. Our giveaway includes tickets to this once-every-few-years spectacle on the shores of Lake Superior.


And for those who prefer relaxation, we’re also giving away a stay at the South Pier Inn—a boutique waterfront hotel perched at the foot of the Aerial Lift Bridge, with unmatched views of ships passing just outside your window.

You can earn 25 extra entries by purchasing one of our Life Up North T-shirts, currently on sale for just $19.99. A link to purchase is provided at the end of the entry form.

Entries close at 11:59 PM on Sunday, June 22. Prizes have no cash value and cannot be exchanged or resold. If a winner is unable to attend either event, the tickets will be forfeited and offered to another entrant.
