Best Ways to Spend this Thanksgiving in Duluth

Whether you’re visiting for the long weekend or gathering with loved ones in a new setting, Park Point Marina Inn makes the perfect home base for a memorable holiday getaway.

One of the most magical ways to kick off Thanksgiving weekend is by visiting the Bentleyville “Tour of Lights.” As one of the largest walk-through holiday light displays in the country, Bentleyville transforms Bayfront Festival Park into a winter wonderland of dazzling colors, festive treats, and cheerful music. It’s a must-see tradition that brings joy to all ages — and it’s just minutes from the inn.

Thanksgiving in Duluth also pairs perfectly with outdoor adventure. Bundle up and stroll along Park Point Beach, located right outside the hotel. Even in late fall, the crisp air and sweeping shoreline create a serene backdrop for reflection and relaxation. For a little more activity, head to the Lakewalk, where you can enjoy views of lighthouses, rocky shoreline, and Duluth’s iconic Aerial Lift Bridge.

If you’re looking for a warm, inviting Thanksgiving meal, Duluth’s local restaurants offer hearty seasonal dishes and holiday specials. From classic turkey dinners to creative regional flavors, you’ll find plenty of options to enjoy without the stress of cooking or cleanup.

For travelers who love holiday shopping, explore Canal Park and Downtown Duluth, where small businesses offer everything from handmade goods to locally inspired gifts. It’s a fun way to support the community while getting a jump start on your holiday list.
