This might be the most Duluth thing ever and I mean that as a compliment! The William A. Irvin is back with one of its most popular events: the free summer concert series. We are huge on live music in the summer around here.

Music On The Ship officially returns this summer and it's going to be epic. Where else can you watch live music while aboard a famous attraction like the Irvin? That list is pretty short!

The concert series is family-friendly and was a hit its first two seasons. It has been so popular that it is officially back for a third. Each show is also free - which makes it even better.

The concert series will be spread out across four different nights. All four acts will be local. All you have to do is bring a chair and get ready to have fun! You can also sit on a hatch, too.

Every show is open to the public but because of the limited capacity, it fills up quick! There is a capacity of about 140 guests per evening so arrive early. You can bring a chair in a bag as well if you don't want to sit on a hatch.

All aboard for this super fun summer event! It gives you a chance to hang out on a Duluth attraction for free - before it turns into the Haunted Ship, which is my absolute favorite. By the way, each show kicks off at 7 p.m.
