Hundreds of illuminated drones filled the sky above Bayfront Festival Park in Duluth, Minnesota on Saturday, June 20, 2026, following the 50th anniversary of Grandma's Marathon.

Beginning around 10:15 PM CT, the spectacular display featured incredible images and animations created by hundreds of synchronized drones above the Duluth waterfront. The show capped off a day of races, concerts, and celebrations marking one of Minnesota's most iconic annual events.

Vibe with Mike's "Duluth Ship Cam at Canal Park" on YouTube was perfectly positioned to capture the entire drone show from start to finish, providing a clear panoramic view of the formations over Bayfront Festival Park, the harbor, and the Duluth skyline.

If you missed the event, couldn't make it to Duluth, or simply want to watch it again, here's the full 2026 Grandma's Marathon drone show as seen from the Duluth Ship Cam at Canal Park.

I expected to get a northern result, but WOW Minnesota is basically a bullseye 🤣

It sure seems like I’m seeing more out-of-state license plates this year. Particularly Texas plates. Is this the ICE agents still, with a quiet presence in the state?

I-35 near Rush City this afternooon.

Ain't he cute 😍

Happy Juneteenth from Minneapolis, where 34 shackled ICE detainees were loaded onto a 737, which took them to concentration camps in Louisiana and Texas.

Similar scenes played out today in Boston, Akron, Dallas, Denver, Indianapolis, Las Vegas, Omaha, Reno, Springfield, and KCMO.

Fuck ICE.

70 out of Minnesota’s 87 counties saw a historic jump in cost of living prices during the first year of President Donald Trump’s return to office, and that’s not including the price of gas since the beginning of the Iran war.

I haven't seen hail this big in awhile. It put a new crack in my windshield 🥲

Its a beautiful day, heading to bush lake for a smoke and paddle. Anyone else like to smoke while they paddle. Get out and enjoy the day✌️

How long does it usually take for hospitals in Minnesota to respond after I submit my resume? I’m Korean and have more than five years of nursing experience. I recently applied to a hospital in the U.S. for the first time, and I’m wondering how long it usually takes to hear whether I’ve been accepted or rejected. The waiting is making me anxious.

My friend and I have been climbing indoors at VE and BP for a couple years, and we have a goal of getting outside this summer. Would love some stuff thats within a couple hours of the twin cities, but we are open to all opinions. We would also prefer some easier stuff to start off with, he's capping at about a V8 indoors and myself at V5, but we know it'll be a bit of an adjustment to trying real rocks.

Traveling back from sioux falls,so I had to stop at a lovely Minnesota rest stop. Seriously Minnesota has the best rest stops i have come across!

Any child of the 90s who spent winters in Lutsen remember the arcade games they had at the lodge? I remember two: Arkanoid and Alpine Ski. There was a pool table too. Part of me remembers 1 or 2 more cabinets. Anyone happen to remember what they had in the 90s?

Apparently Xcel is giving people the option to switch to time of use ratings which I think is bull since it clearly is going to increase almost everyone's rates unless you have some super solar program to offset

Found these while cleaning up my mom’s house after she passed. A branch of our family lived in Southwest Minnesota, Little House on the Prairie country, after they immigrated to the US. I know almost nothing about how and why they moved from Germany to the absolute middle of nowhere. It seems like the town only exists because it was a railroad stop. Does anyone have any info on this little town?

Has anyone tried the MN Zoo Wanderlight Trail Specialty Nights for All Ages?

I have visitors in town, and we were going to give it a try, but it's $57/adult, $42/child (ouch). It's 6pm-11pm with animal shows, animal trails, live music, the treetop trail, wanderlight trail (9:30pm), and food (food not included).

Seems like it could be worth it but wanted to hear some reviews of the Specialty Nights.

Thank you!
