Downtown Duluth came alive on Saturday, August 8, as the City of Duluth hosted one of its biggest concerts of the summer: Duluth Summer Stage featuring Blank Space: The Unofficial Taylor Swift Tribute.

The Town Green was filled with music, excitement and community spirit as fans gathered for an unforgettable night in the heart of Downtown Duluth. The evening kicked off with DJ Jessica It’s All Good, who brought the energy and set the tone for a night full of dancing, singing and summer fun.

At 8pm, Blank Space took the stage and delivered a high-energy tribute performance featuring Taylor Swift’s greatest hits, dazzling visuals, choreography and plenty of fan-favorite moments. From concert outfits and friendship bracelets to sing-alongs and photo opportunities, the event brought Swiftie-inspired fun to fans of all ages.

Guests also enjoyed a 360 Photo Booth and food vendors on the Activity Lawn, including Cool Zone Concessions, Little Oven Treats, Not As Famous Cookie Company and Pico’s Hotdogs and Street Tacos.

The celebration started before Saturday’s concert with themed activities throughout the week, including Friendship Bracelet Workshops and Taylor Swift Music Bingo in Parsons Alley. These events helped build excitement leading up to the main performance and gave the community even more ways to take part in the Summer Stage experience.

The City of Duluth would like to thank everyone who came out to celebrate, sing, dance and help make the evening such a memorable success. Events like Duluth Summer Stage are made special by the energy, support and participation of the community.

Thank you for helping make Downtown Duluth shine. We loved celebrating this summer concert experience with you!
