Grandma Marathon---- Music edition.

This weekend is a big weekend for Duluth. This weekend is the running of Grandmas Marathon, the event brings in thousands of dollars to our community.

People from around the world travel to Duluth for this event. The weekend of course features the race, but that is not what I want to talk about in this post. The event also has a number of other things tied to the race.

Every year there is music in the parking lot near grandmas sports garden in the Canal Park. There are three shows Friday night, Saturday afternoon and Saturday night. It feature regional acts that include headliner GB Leight also Doctor Salty,Lola and the red hots, and Saturday afternoon only Steel Lefty, and Friends. It is a lot of fun to take in the music.

Friday nights tent cover has been reduced to $5.00 with music starting at 8pm and going till 1am. Saturday night's cover is $8.00 with music starting at 8PM as well. Well Friday and Saturdays night is a lot of fun, what gets lost is that Saturday afternoon there is a free family friendly music set.

The afternoon show starts at 11:30am and runs till 5:15pm it features all the acts that play at night, so yes you get to see GB Leight. It also has one of its own acts Steel, Lefty and Friends. It is a lot of fun and I would hope more take advantaged of it. Bring the kids and have fun.

Yes Friday and Saturday night are a lot of fun, they are of course more "wild" and you and must be 21 or older to get in to the night shows.
