New this year is the Homegrown Merch Fair hosted by the Twin Ports Artists Collective (TPAC) at the Duluth Depot! Every act featured in the Homegrown lineup this year is invited to sell merch at the Merch Fair. TPAC initiated this because “not all venues are created equal. Depending on where a performer is placed, the opportunity to sling merch varies vastly. As a step toward greater equity, The Depot will be packed with merch tables between Saturday’s kickball battle royale and the evening’s performances.” There will also be time beforehand for artists to trade merch and meet new and old music scene friends. With over 150 Homegrown acts selling at the TPAC Homegrown Merch Fair, this will be your one-stop shop to scoop up releases and merch from all your favorite Homegrown performers!
