City and DECC Cancel Labor Day Weekend Fireworks
[Duluth, MN] The City of Duluth, in partnership with the DECC, has announced its plans to cancel the fireworks display over Labor Day weekend. The fireworks had been originally postponed before Independence Day due to COVID-19 concerns.
“When we postponed the Independence Day fireworks earlier this year, we had hoped that circumstances would improve to hold the fireworks display over the Labor Day weekend,” Mayor Emily Larson said. “Last year, we had 10,000 people come to Bayfront to celebrate Independence Day, which doesn’t work within Minnesota’s Stay Safe Phase III plan, which allows for up to 250 people at indoor and outdoor events.”
