The event is put on yearly by We Are America, Inc., a local nonprofit whose goal is to establish a performing arts center where residents can participate in the arts. This year's Dueling Duets was dedicated to Mayor Michael Bonfanti, who has been a strong supporter of the organization and is serving his last year in office after he announced in January .

“Everyone here is family,” said We Are America, Inc. performer Stephanie McCarthy. “This is something I will never forget.”
