The music legend’s home city of Duluth, Minnesota, is holding the 11th annual Duluth Dylan Fest, with fans invited to join the celebration of his life and six-decade spanning career from home and at the festival.

His loyal followers are being invited to join a party outside the ‘Lay Lay Lay’ hitmaker’s childhood home in Duluth, where he lived until he was six, to mark the milestone.

The largely-virtual event – owing to the COVID-19 pandemic – has been running since May 22 and will continue until May 30.

This year, the event’s organizers partnered with Song From the North Country to put on a songwriting contest in Dylan’s honor, along with a poetry contest, lecture, tor, and much more.

Elsewhere, in New York – where Dylan moved to in 1961 to pursue his dream of becoming a music star – the WFUV radio station at the Bronx’s Fordham University is playing 80 Dylan songs throughout the day.

And in Dublin, Ireland – where Dylan has frequented over the years – Other Voices is hosting a live-stream from the US Embassy titled ‘Dignity’ after his 1994 song.
