DULUTH — The Bayfront Reggae and World Music Festival is taking place on the harbor this Saturday. For more information on that and other big summer events, be sure to check out our guide to weekend fun. Here are six more suggestions for events to attend this week.
E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial What was happening in Duluth in June 1982? The Depot Square display storefronts were making their debut at the Lake Superior Railroad Museum.
Atari 2600 consoles were flying off the shelves at Musicland despite a price point of $138.99 — over $450 today. A News Tribune advertisement claimed that "over 25,735 in the Twin Ports" had taken the Pepsi Challenge.
Also, "E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial" was opening at Miller Hill Mall.
Whether you remember that era fondly or it was before you were born, on Friday you have the opportunity to see "E.T." in Duluth again.
This time, the Steven Spielberg classic is screening for free in Leif Erikson Park as part of Downtown Duluth's Movies in the Park series (downtownduluth.com). ADVERTISEMENT Tour of Homes and Gardens You could subscribe to "Architectural Digest" or "Better Homes & Gardens," but why spend your time peeping at pictures of out-of-town mansions when you can see five of Duluth's own fine homes in person? On Wednesday, July 17, the century-old Duluth Woman's Club is hosting its 56th Tour of Homes and Gardens.
Attractions include the Woman's Club itself, located in the historic 1910 Hartman house at 2400 E. Superior St. Food trucks will be.
