In a press release put out by the city, Mayor Emily Larson says the new flag represents Duluth in a fuller way, citing our unique neighborhoods, history and beautiful landscape as things that make the city special.

The event is completely free. Though things are getting better with the pandemic, there will still be a few COVID-19 policies in place, like social distancing from others.

At the event, you will also have a chance to win the new flag. There will also be giveaways, with the city giving out items like stickers, temporary tattoos and other treats, which means it is a great event to bring your children to.

The new flag was designed by Duluth resident Blane Tetrault. A few years back, the city held a contest and narrowed the entries down to nine, ultimately getting what will be the new city flag. The public got to vote for their favorite and here we are! You can see the new flag design online.
