Thank you, Duluth! We had an amazing time rocking out and watching Jumanji with you at Flicks on the Bricks and Rock the Block: Live & Loud Fridays.

Your support and excitement made the night unforgettable, and we’re so grateful to share these moments with our community. Can’t wait to see you at the next event!

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

This 2-and-a-half-year-old black Labrador mix is all smiles and tail wags—especially when he’s strolling through the Town Green. If you spot this good boy around town, be sure to stop by and say hello (belly rubs encouraged)!

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!

The City of Duluth hosted a special ribbon-cutting ceremony on Thursday, May 8, 2025 to unveil a series of student-designed storm drain murals along George Rogers Avenue. In partnership with Paint Love, Duluth High School, Explore Gwinnett and the Duluth Public Art Commission, the project combined public art with environmental education to raise awareness about stormwater pollution and sustainability.

Over the course of several days, students painted meaningful, vibrant designs directly onto storm drains, illustrating how everyday actions impact our local waterways. The initiative also included mentorship from Paint Love’s team of artists and educators, who helped students transform their ideas into public-facing messages of conservation and creativity.

City officials, community partners, and local organizations gathered to celebrate the project, which was made possible in part by a grant from the Gwinnett Creativity Fund.

Also, a special thanks to the Stormwater Department, Gwinnett County Public Schools TV, and everyone else who supported this initiative behind the scenes.

The storm drain murals now serve as a lasting reminder that in Duluth, art and community go hand-in-hand to create a cleaner, more beautiful future.
