The Tribute Fest In Duluth Releases 2022 Lineup

The Tribute Fest holds a weekend of non-stop music to help raise awareness and money for homeless Veterans to get the help they need and have earned.

The Tribute Fest works directly with the Minnesota Assistance Council for Veterans (MACV), a nonprofit organization that has been assisting veterans for over 25 years, and they have helped over 5,500 veterans and their families. About 1% of the veterans in this state, or close to 4,100, will be homeless at some point this year, which is a sad statistic.

The Tribute Fest is still looking for Vendors and people who want to volunteer for the weekend in whatever manner. If you are interested, call Lou Campbell at 218-940-3513 or email him at lou@chartermi.net or apply online.

Then + Now: See How Much Superior Street Has Changed Over The Years

Superior Street, one of Duluth's main roads, has a rich story spanning over the history of the city. Here's how things have changed over the last several years.

Where Is The Best Fish Fry In The Twin Ports?

The fish fry is one of those meals that has become synonymous with Upper Midwest cuisine. While New England claims its seafood, Texas has its barbecue, and California is the land of 10,000 salads - it seems like the fish fry is omnipresent on a lot of restaurant and grill menus in the part of the country we live in.

And while some could argue what constitutes a proper fish fry (i.e. is the fish battered and deep dried, grilled, or broiled?). And - some might debate whether or not the side dish matters (i.e. is it served with "chips" (French fries) or some other side like mashed potatoes or rice?). No one debates what day of the week is traditional for a fish fry meal: That honor goes to Friday. The Friday connection has it's origins because a variety of religious denominations couldn't eat meat on that day of the week - especially during the Lenten season. However, even outside of Lent, the fish fry special is something most people expect to see on the menu at a restaurant on a Friday.

Even with the special being so prolific to Friday restaurant menus, it seems like the common question - especially here in the Northland - is "who has a fish fry?" or "who has the best fish fry?".

To answer those questions, we've compiled the following list of businesses - listed in alphabetic order - who specifically make mention of their Friday fish fry special on their menus, websites, and social media sites.

Try one, try some, or try them all. You can't go wrong!
