Bag Policy

WHY IS THERE A BAG POLICY?

The Duluth Entertainment Convention Center prioritizes the safety of guests and staff at our entertainment events. More performers are requiring bags to be inspected before entry to their show. In order to keep the line moving, we have implemented the following bag policy for all entertainment events and other events as deemed necessary by the DECC.

 

PERMITTED BAGS FOR EVENTS WITH BAG POLICY RESTRICTIONS

For enhanced safety and speed of entry, we encourage guests not to bring bags of any kind to entertainment events.

However, the following bags may be carried into the venue:

  • Small bags not exceeding 4.5” x 6.5”
    • Such as a clutch purse, wristlet, or wallet.
  • Medically necessary bags, including breast pumps
  • Diaper bags for individuals/families with a child/children under age 3

Guests bringing permitted bags to events should arrive early and allow extra time for entry.

 

 

 

BAG INSPECTIONS

All guests will be subject to a search of their person and possessions prior to entering DECC facilities for applicable events. All permissible bags will be subject to inspection by security personnel. Guests should be prepared to open their bags for inspection and may be asked by a security representative to shift and/or remove the contents of their bag.

DECC security personnel reserve the right to confiscate items that may cause damage to DECC facilities or danger/disruption to an event. Guests who violate building policies or decline to be searched may be denied entry or ejected from DECC facilities.

 

BAG CHECK NOT AVAILABLE

Please leave prohibited items at home or in your vehicle. Guests with bags not meeting guidelines will be asked to return them to their vehicle as an item check is not available.

 

NON-APPLICABLE EVENTS

This policy is not applicable to private events, conferences, meetings, or trade shows, unless enacted by the event host or the DECC.
