Step into the 1920s for an evening of cocktails, hors d’oeuvres, music, and history at Glensheen! Begin your evening by entering through the Juliet Balcony, where you’ll be greeted with a cocktail and hors d’oeuvres before heading downstairs to explore Glensheen’s basement. Discover 1920s-inspired activities and artifacts on display, enjoy music from the era, snap a photo in the billiards room, and take in a few surprises along the way. Enjoy a selection of fun, 1920s-inspired cocktails available for purchase at the cash bar before settling in for an engaging history talk by local historian Tony Dierckins. Tony will present “Drying Out Duluth: From Temperance to Prohibition,” exploring Duluth’s complicated relationship with alcohol—from the city’s early liquor ordinances and temperance movement to Prohibition and the creative ways Duluthians continued to enjoy a drink. Following the talk, enjoy dessert and a special 1920s-themed experience to round out the evening. Dress to impress and embrace the spirit of the 1920s for this one-of-a-kind night at Glensheen.

Catch Superior Seafood Boils out on the fest field every other Friday night for a Cajun boil from a small, family-run catering business owned by Joey, Amy, and our son Ryder. What started as Joey’s love for New Orleans turned into a mission: to bring the taste, fun, and spirit of an authentic Louisiana seafood boil up north.
Joey has always had a passion for throwing a good party and cooking up incredible seafood. Around here, he’s known as the “Ragin’ Northern Cajun” – part chef, part entertainer, and all heart. When you book us, you’re not just getting the best seafood this side of the Mississippi. You’re getting a true New Orleans–style experience: big flavors, big laughs, and memories that stick around long after the last crab leg is gone.
