Schedule for the 2022 Duluth Dylan Fest: We're Ready To Roll

After months of  meetings, emails and phone calls, the schedule for this year's Duluth Dylan Fest 2022 has finally begun to gel. Most of the events will be live this year, for the first time since 2019. And, as always, there will be lots of music and you're invited.

This year's Fest will be a final exclamation point on St. Louis County's Year of Dylan, which commenced on the troubadour's 80th birthday. (Troubadour: a French medieval lyric poet composing and singing in Provençal in the 11th to 13th centuries, especially on the theme of courtly love.)

Here's how things are currently shaping up for this special week of celebration.
