May 2 – 9, 2010, is the annual Homegrown Music Festival in Duluth. In the eleven years since it’s inception, the Homegrown Music Festival has grown into a full scale good time. Over 100 bands are expected to perform this year. The music is “rawk and/or roll devil music”, which I think means fun.

These days, the festival is not just about music. There will be photography, homegrown videos, and poetry. Expect to laugh at comedians, and watch some renegade theater. In fact, expect the unexpected.

Performances will be at dozens of restaurants, cafes and bars around town. You’ll be able to walk to several venues from our Bed and Breakfast Duluth, such as Fitger’s Brewhouse, R.T. Quinlan’s Saloon, Amazing Grace Bakery and Cafe, and Lake Avenue Cafe.

Check into our Duluth bed and breakfast from May 2 – 9, and check out the great homegrown music scene of Duluth.

After an evening out, restore yourself with a wholesome breakfast at Solglimt.

It’s that time again. The University of Minnesota Duluth will be handing out diplomas to undergraduates on Saturday, May 15. Graduate diplomas will be presented on Thursday, May 13. We still have a few openings at our Duluth Bed and Breakfast, and hope you’ll consider staying with us as you witness this important rite of passage.

Stay at our Lake Superior Bed and Breakfast as you celebrate this magnificent rite of passage.

Our Duluth inn is located right on Lake Superior, in the Canal Park district of Duluth – just a few miles from the University of Minnesota. It’s easy to stroll out our door and walk for miles along the shore. Although we close to all the amenities of Duluth, our proximity to Lake Superior makes it seem like we’re a beach resort.

The Luna Nova New Music Ensemble takes place at Weber Hall, on the UMD campus. Tickets are available through UMD.
