2025 VENUES
Doors Open Duluth is starting small.
For its inaugural year, the event’s producer—Rethos—is only approaching venues in Duluth’s Lincoln Park neighborhood.
In 2026, we'll roll out an open application process, expanding Doors Open Duluth into a citywide event with more venues from across Duluth invited to participate.
Interested in being part of a future Doors Open Duluth? Reach out to will@rethos.org to express your interest or ask questions.
See our preliminary venue list below and check back for updates soon.
