Fashionopolis 2024: It’s hard to believe the 11th edition of Fashionopolis—our annual celebration of small businesses, local talent, local retail, and local fashion and design—is already in the rearview.
This year, we put the pedal to the metal using the automobile as our muse—how car culture intersects with fashion, music, and popular culture. Our editorial team collaborated with more than 30 local stores and fashion designers to dress 22 models in 90-plus looks. Talk about high-octane style!

Journey aboard the annual Great Pumpkin Train Duluth Depot to the grassy pumpkin field that appears once a year, on this very special weekend.
…
Museum admission is included and there is tons of fun inside the Depot too. The Great Pumpkin Train weekend is an annual fall tradition you won’t want to miss, and is sure to create new memories you’ll want to experience each year.
…
When you arrive at the “pumpkin patch” on the train, each ticketed passenger gets to pick out their own pumpkin to take with them. The train ride is about 90 minutes total, and you’ll return to the Duluth Depot where you can stay all day to tour the railroad museum (included and open until 5pm).

Other Good Stuff to Know
Trains operate rain or shine and in snow. Restrooms are available on the train, and coaches are heated/cooled as needed (except in open air car areas). Passengers in coach are boarded in the order they have arrived for checkin. First people to checkin are able to board first. This also allows for extra time to tour the museum beforehand. Any First-Class seats are boarded by reserved seat assignment with no need to checkin extra early. There is ramp parking on both sides of the Depot building, which is sometimes free on weekends (Sat/Sun). Follow signs accordingly, if the machine does not accept payment, then it is free.
The Lake Superior Railroad Museum, included with your ticket, is only open until 5pm. If you are on a later train, be sure to come early to enjoy the museum activities.
Domecar Seats are available for a few dollars more, where you sit in our unique upper level viewing cars, with lounges below to store pumpkins. Concession are available for sale with these tickets. Due to limited space, all passengers (infants too) have to pay for a DomeCar seat.
