The Bayfront Blues Festival is just a few days away, August 13 – 15, 2010. Located at Bayfront Festival Park, just steps away from our Duluth bed and breakfast on Lake Superior, the 22nd Annual Blues Festival will feature such greats as Dr. John and the Lower 911, Elvin Bishop, and Duke Robillard.

Check out the Bayfront Blues Festival while staying at our Duluth b&b.

There will be two music venues at the festival: the Acoustic Tent Stage and the Leinenkugel’s Stage. Bring a lawn chair and settle in for a show by the Cornbread Harris Trio or Reverend Raven and the Chainsmokin’ Altar Boys at the Acoustic Tent, or Otis Clay or JJ Grey & Mofro at Leinenkugel’s. Since Bayfront is so close to our Duluth bed and breakfast, you’ll be able to easily return to the inn to rest a bit between shows. (more…)

Holiday spirit is alive and well in Duluth! Bentleyville will soon be back in Duluth, just a few blocks away from our bed and breakfast on the shores of Lake Superior.

Bayfront Festival Park is just a stone's throw away from our B&B on Lake Superior.

Bentleyville Tour of Lights is a 37 day-long celebration at BayFront Festival Park that runs from November 27 through January 2, 2010. Daily festivities begin at 5 pm and continue until 10 pm. It is impossible not to feel warmed by the spirit of Christmas as you walk among the light displays, warm your hands around fire pits, and indulge in a roasted marshmallow or two. Even the most committed Scrooge will find himself in a cheerful holiday mood.

In addition to nightly light displays and fire pits, there will be live music every Friday and Saturday night thanks to a variety of regional musicians, who will take the stage from 7 – 9 pm.

The best part of Bentelyville for our guests is that Bayfront Festival Park is just a short walk from our Lake Superior lodging. It is easy to brace the cold when there is promise of the warmth of fire and the glow of lights just a few blocks away. And once you have said hello to Santa and indulged in a cup of hot cocoa and a cookie or two, you are only a short distance from the warmth of your cozy room.
