The Duluth Dylan Fest committee has finalized its schedule for the 2023 Duluth Dylan Fest, the annual celebration honoring Nobel prize winner Bob Dylan in the week surrounding his May 24 birthday.

The Fest will feature a range of events May 20-28 both in Hibbing, where he was raised, and in Duluth, the city of his birth.

“With Bob Dylan turning 82, the committee wanted to honor the impact he has had musically and culturally throughout the world,” said Laura Whitney, committee spokesperson. “We are excited to have a variety of in-person opportunities here in the northland to celebrate with music fans all over the world.”
