City Side Convention Center

60,000 square feet. 60,000 options.

Added in 1990, the DECC’s City Side Convention Center was built to handle a wide range of events including social and business events; state, national and international conventions; and everything in between. From the Lake Superior Ballroom with its views of the Duluth’s skyline to the ten meeting rooms and 15,000 square foot Edmund Fitzgerald Exhibit Hall, a more accommodating venue would be hard to find.
