Twin Ports Thanksgiving Buffet
Event Navigation
The 34th annual Twin Ports Thanksgiving Buffet, produced by Twin Ports community volunteers and the College of St. Scholastica, offers a free holiday dinner. The meal includes turkey, homemade mashed potatoes and gravy, stuffing, corn, dinner roll and cake for dessert.
The meal is served in the Duluth Entertainment Center’s Lake Superior Ballroom in the City Side Convention Center. Parking at the DECC is free during the event.
Home meal delivery is available to homebound individuals in Duluth, Superior, Proctor, Hermantown, Esko, Cloquet and Two Harbors. To request a meal, fill out the Google Form or call 218-723-6484. Delivery requests must be received by 5 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 17. Due to the volume of requests, organizers ask that only those who are truly homebound request a meal. Teams will deliver approximately 1,200 meals on Thanksgiving morning. Meals prepared for home delivery will be fully cooked and in individual serving containers.
DTA bus transportation in Duluth will be available. For route information visit duluthtransit.com or call 218-722-7283.
More than 700 volunteers will prepare up to 7,000 meals as part of this event. Any remaining food is rescued by Second Harvest Northern Lakes Food Bank the day after Thanksgiving and is re-distributed to area agencies.
