People throughout the Twin Ports regions gathered at Bayfront Park for Duluth Fourth Fest. The celebration of Independence Day features live music throughout the day, venders, a bouncy house for kids, and fireworks.

This year’s Duluth Fourth Fest will also feature a special introduction of the 2025 performers for the Duluth Airshow. The 2025 Duluth Air and Aviation Expo takes place July 5th–6th at the Duluth International Airport. Residents witnessed flyovers and a patriotic preview of what’s to come.

The Minnesota Slip Bridge will be lowered and closed to marine traffic from 8:30 to 11 p.m. The Aerial Lift Bridge will stay down and be closed to marine traffic from 7 to 11 p.m. Vessels that are able to pass under the bridge without requiring a lift are permitted to do so.

The Aerial Lift Bridge will also be lit in red, white, and blue colors. However, there are several other Fourth of July stories you can read here.
