Christmas Eve Bonfires

This Christmas tradition is truly a local favorite. Located along the mighty Mississippi River, this tradition’s humble beginning was originally a neighborhood or family-oriented activity. Now thousands of visitors from all walks of life visit these bonfires every year! Dating back to the early 1700s, French and German settlers brought with them a variety of traditions. One being Bonfires has turned into a mega celebration that has grown bigger over the years. [More Info]
