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 sale of Dylan Days pins and sales/ad revenue from 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).

Dylan Days is organized by Dylan Days, Hibbing, MN, a nonprofit corporation dedicated to advancing the arts in Bob Dylan's hometown. All content not provided for promotional purposes copyright by Aaron J. Brown for Dylan Days.
