⚓ This Labor Day, we’re celebrating the people who keep Duluth moving. 💙

From the crews working our harbor and the ships carrying goods across the Great Lakes to the trades, healthcare workers, hospitality teams, small businesses, and countless others who keep our community running — Duluth is built on hard work.

Watching the Aerial Lift Bridge rise for a ship entering the Duluth-Superior Harbor is a pretty incredible reminder that Lake Superior isn’t just part of our view — it’s part of a working waterfront with generations of history behind it.

Today, we celebrate all the people whose work helps make Duluth the place we’re proud to call home.

Happy Labor Day from Inn on Lake Superior! ⚓🌊
