Welcome to Duluth’s Downtown Waterfront, where our businesses are nestled around the western tip of majestic Lake Superior.

Since 1984, the Greater Downtown Council has served as a common voice for the central business district, dedicating its efforts toward promotion and development in our downtown. We are pleased with the progress and invite you to enjoy an experience like no other. Whether it’s visiting our unique shops and restaurants, enjoying the cultural offerings, exploring the lakewalk or attending an event after work, there’s something for everyone in Downtown Duluth.

In 2005, the GDC took on another mission, serving as the management entity of Duluth’s Downtown Waterfront District—A Special Service District. Through this district, we have further strengthened the downtown, making it cleaner, safer and friendlier. But don’t take our word for it, experience it first-hand and you’ll know why we’re proud of our jewel along Lake Superior.

Kristi Stokes
President
Greater Downtown Council

Bringing education to rural Mexican area, one school at a time
When Mariana Day moved in 1989 to the small beach town of Chacala, in Nayarit, Mexico, she noticed that the surrounding rural areas struggled to maintain schools.

Called Changing Lives, the program provided students with high school tuition, uniforms, school supplies, and transportation. In addition, Rotary clubs from the United States and Mexico have been investing in the...

Nigeria sees no wild polio cases for one year
Today marks one year since Nigeria last reported a polio case caused by wild poliovirus, putting the country on the brink of eradicating the paralyzing disease. The last case was reported on 24 July 2014 in the northern state of Kano. If no cases are reported in the coming weeks, the World Health Organization is expected to remove Nigeria from the list of countries where polio is endemic, leaving just two: Afghanistan and Pakistan. Nigeria is the last polio-endemic country in Africa. The continent is poised to reach its own first full year without any illness from the virus on 11 August. “...
