The U.S. Navy Blue Angels are headlining the event, promising breathtaking aerial displays.
Blue Angels Ready to Soar
“It's awesome,” said Lt. Cmdr. Wes Perkins, of Georgetown, Texas, about performing in Duluth. “Every week, we go to a new show site. This one in particular is very interesting to us. It's awesome scenery right here on Lake Superior.” The Blue Angels have been practicing their routines, ensuring a top-notch performance for the public.
Traffic Adjustments for the Celebrations
To accommodate the festivities, the Minnesota Slip Bridge was lowered and closed to marine traffic from 8:30 to 11 p.m. The Aerial Lift Bridge also stayed down and was closed to marine traffic from 7 to 11 p.m. Vessels that could pass under the bridge without requiring a lift were permitted to do so.
The Aerial Lift Bridge was also illuminated in red, white, and blue, adding a patriotic touch to the celebrations. With so much happening, Duluth is definitely the place to be this week!
