We want to extend a heartfelt thank you to the incredible Peachtree Ridge Jazz Band for bringing their talent and energy to Parsons Alley! Their performance lit up the night and filled Downtown Duluth with smooth sounds and great vibes.

We also want to thank everyone who came out to support—your presence made the evening extra special. From lawn chairs to picnic blankets, it was a perfect night of community, music, and fun.

We’re so grateful to share these moments with you and look forward to more events like this in the future!

Stay tuned for more exciting happenings in Downtown Duluth!

Duluth’s Main Street just got a little brighter—and more educational! The City recently unveiled stunning new storm drain art in front of the Duluth Public Library, designed by Atlanta-based artist Brianna Gardocki. City leaders, including Mayor Greg Whitlock and Councilmembers Jamin Harkness, Marline Thomas, and Manfred Graeder, joined the Duluth Public Art Commission, Explore Gwinnett, and the City’s Stormwater Department for the big reveal.

These eye-catching murals do more than add beauty to the streets—they serve as an important reminder that only rain belongs in the drain! This project raises awareness about stormwater pollution and the role we all play in keeping our waterways clean.

Check out the new artwork next time you’re in Downtown Duluth and join us in protecting our environment!

We want to extend a heartfelt thank you to everyone who joined us for Little Beer V this past Saturday! From the incredible breweries and talented musicians to the amazing vendors and enthusiastic beer lovers, this festival was truly something special.

A huge shoutout to Good Word Brewing for making this event possible and to our wonderful Duluth community for showing up and celebrating with us. Your support and love for craft beer continue to make this festival one of the best in the country!

Until next time—cheers! 🍻

Can we hear a round of a-paws for March’s Dog of the Month: Miley Vicky!

Miley’s humans said she “is a friendly & energetic corgi that loves to meet new friends! She likes to greet everyone with a smile and a hug, and she also loves to play catch with her toys.” Sounds like if you see this good girl around town, you should stop and give her a pet!

For her dedication to helping keep our waterways clean and local ecosystems intact, Tiger Tails Animal Hospital has partnered with us to offer a great prize pack to our Dog of the Month.

Take the pledge and your pup (or pups) may just be featured as our next Dog of the Month!

Duluth is about to get even more colorful! Over the next few months, storm drains on Main Street and George Rogers Avenue will be completely reimagined into works of art that enhance public spaces and inspire the community to keep our local waterways clean and thriving. This exciting project is made possible by the Explore Gwinnett Creativity Fund and partnerships between DPAC, City of Duluth Stormwater Division, Duluth High School and Paint Love. Stay tuned for updates later this Spring!

Can we hear a round of a-paws for January’s Dog of the Month: Teddy!

Teddy’s humans said he “is a 2-year-old Dachshund. He loves chasing balls more than anything! He also loves sitting by a window and watching for squirrels and birds, when he isn’t napping.” Sounds like if you see this good boy around town, you should stop and give him a pet! For his dedication to helping keep our waterways clean and local ecosystems intact, Tiger Tails Animal Hospital has partnered with us to offer a great prize pack to our Dog of the Month.

Take the pledge and your pup (or pups) may just be featured as our next Dog of the Month!
