Duluth Senior GO Show Returns to the DECC on Tuesday, October 22, Promising the Region's Largest Annual Senior Gathering

DULUTH, MN — On Tuesday, October 22, the DECC in Duluth will host the 20th Annual Duluth Senior GO Show (formerly the Duluth Senior Expo). Sponsored by Medica, this event is the largest annual gathering in the region for individuals aged 55 and older, featuring nearly 100 experts offering valuable information, products, and services tailored specifically for seniors, all in a fun and engaging atmosphere.
The Duluth Senior GO Show provides a unique platform for attendees to connect with businesses, agencies, and nonprofits, enabling them to gather important resources and engage in meaningful conversations about life after 55.

A key highlight of the event is the impressive live music lineup, featuring performances by the legendary Donny Buck, the Blue Water Big Band, and Official GO Show Music Ambassador Rickey Lee Biggs.

Essentia Health Pharmacy will be offering Flu and COVID vaccines at booths 29 and 30. New this year are Parkinson’s boxing demonstrations led by Northland boxing legend Zach “Jungle Boy” Walters, and a timely seminar presented by AARP titled *Our Voices Decide: Social Security & Support for Family Caregivers*. This session will focus on the critical roles that Social Security and caregiving play, and what’s at stake for both in the upcoming election. Attendees can also look forward to the return of the popular pickleball demonstrations.

"The Duluth Senior GO Show has evolved into an annual celebration for seniors across the region, and each year we add more exciting experiences," said Tracy Lundeen, President of Lundeen Productions, the event’s producer. "We’re thrilled to offer a space where seniors can explore an array of information, products, and services while having a great time. This generation of seniors may be Getting Older (GO), but they’re still ready to have fun, stay informed, and enjoy life to the fullest."

Don’t miss the chance to be part of this favorite annual event for seniors! Join us on Tuesday, October 22, at the DECC for the Duluth Senior GO Show, where seniors and businesses come together for a day of education, enjoyment, and entertainment.

The Duluth Senior GO Show is proudly sponsored by Lundeen Productions and Mediqwest, with free event parking and bags provided courtesy of MEDICA.
