Festival
The "Lester River Rendezvous" festival takes place every September. This annual event draws people from all over since 1998. It also is a time of neighborhood and community togetherness. The event is sponsored by the Lakeside-Lester Park Business Association and Duluth Parks and Recreation Department. This fall tradition in Lester Park features food, crafts, and entertainment.
A special feature of the "Lester River Rendezvous" is the Voyageur Village, where members play out the day in the life of a voyageurs camp from the late 18th century in Northern Minnesota. This re-enactment by local residents includes dressing up as voyageurs in the fur trading era, demonstrating outdoor cooking techniques, as well as telling stories of their historic adventures.
There are also games by the Duluth Children's Museum and pony rides. Musicians perform either at the park stage, strolling the park, or at the entrance gates.
