HISTORY
Dylan Days begain informally in 1991 at Zimmy's Bar and Restaurant in
Hibbing, Minnesota (Bob Dylan's hometown). The Dylan-themed
establishment hosted a small birthday gathering in Bob's honor that
included some impromptu musical performances. In the years since, more
and more people have poured into the Iron Range town of Hibbing every
May to celebrate one of America's greatest musicians and poets. Today,
Dylan Days is a growing regional event that brings both professional
and amateur musicians, poets, writers, artists, and performers together
for a celebration of entertainment and Bob Dylan appreciation.
It is our goal to build an organization that celebrates and encourages
emerging writers, musicians and artists in Northeastern Minnesota,
especially in Hibbing, in honor of Bob Dylan. We operate entirely off
the advertising
revenue for our annual publication, "Talkin' Blues," the program and
literary journal of Dylan Days. Find out how to support us with your advertising dollars
(lower rates available for individuals to take out small patronage ads).
