The Fourth of July will be here before we know it now is the time to start making plans for the holiday weekend in the Northland.

Bayfront Festival Park will certainly be busy that entire weekend as Bayfront Country Jam starring Jake Owen takes place Friday, July 1. On Saturday July 2, families can attend 'A Salute To Disney In The Park'. Sunday, July 3 finds Hairball returning to Duluth.

The remaining question had been what the plans would be on the holiday itself with the City of Duluth Fourth Fest. That question was answered this week as the Duluth Entertainment Convention Center provided details on the annual tradition.

The Midwest’s greatest Fourth of July celebration and fireworks extravaganza! Visit Bayfront Festival Park during the Independence Day celebration for live music, delicious food, cold drinks & a variety of craft vendors! Come and experience this FREE community event and witness the largest fireworks display in the upper Midwest produced by the City of Duluth.

LOOK: Here are the 50 best beach towns in America

Every beach town has its share of pluses and minuses, which got us thinking about what makes a beach town the best one to live in. To find out, Stacker consulted data from WalletHub, released June 17, 2020, that compares U.S. beach towns. Ratings are based on six categories: affordability, weather, safety, economy, education and health, and quality of life. The cities ranged in population from 10,000 to 150,000, but they had to have at least one local beach listed on TripAdvisor. Read the full methodology here. From those rankings, we selected the top 50. Readers who live in California and Florida will be unsurprised to learn that many of towns featured here are in one of those two states.
