A week's worth of outdoor recreation activities have been planned for Feb. 5-12 as part of Duluth's Cold Front 2021. The events this year will look a little different due to the COVID-19 pandemic and some will require online registration to participate.
Events include:

Participants must take a photo of/with the yeti and post it to social media to be entered into a drawing for prizes.
