The Great Outdoors - Paddle to the Max Party!

Hello Duluth Outdoors Recreation Community,
Join the annual Great Outdoors Party-Give to the Max event at Bent Paddle on November 21st!
Please join us as we “Paddle to the Max” at the Bent Paddle Taproom to kick off the giving season. The goal is to create a conduit for these hard-working non-profits, who are supporting the great outdoors, education, and the human-powered activities we all love! It's a great time to reconnect with old friends, learn about all the groups serving our outdoor recreation community and win some great outdoor gear!

Dinner and a Scare 2!

A sold-out favorite from last year “Dinner and a Scare” is always a fun concert. The programming contrasts spooky masterworks by Berlioz, Weelkes, Lauridsen, alongside Little Shop of Horrors, new pieces, and musical surprises we don’t dare spoil here! There is something for everyone, whether you are a connoisseur of choral calamities, or a noob to the niceties of musical nuance. In other words, “Dinner and a Scare” is both excellent and fun.

Rondo ’56: Remembering St Paul’s Black Main Street

With its four musical hosts, Rondo '56 paints a portrait in music, stories and archival photos of St. Paul's thriving Black neighborhood in the decade before it was sliced down the middle to make room for I-94. Brimming with first-hand accounts and iconic R&B and gospel favorites from the decade after World War II and before the freeway, Rondo '56 is a loving evocation of this two-mile-long neighborhood centered on Rondo Avenue, a vibrant and tight-knit community that was home to most of St. Paul's Black residents.
