Experience Cajun Holiday Bonfire Celebration

The small communities just upriver from New Orleans are home to a unique Christmas festivity- building, lighting and gathering around towering bonfires along the Mississippi River levee to light the way for Papa Noel. A Gray Line exclusive, this intimate guided experience brings locals and visitors together for a private Cajun dinner and bonfire at St. Joseph Plantation, a working sugar cane farm owned by the same family since 1890. Merriment flows as guests learn about Cajun and Creole holiday traditions, sing carols and tour the plantation by candlelight. A cash bar is available for beer & wine. Advance reservations required. (On Dec. 14 the house tour will be at St. Joseph’s sister property, Felicity Plantation.)
