Christmas Eve Bonfire Adventure

Join us for a Christmas Eve Bonfire Adventure!
The small communities just upriver from New Orleans are home to a unique holiday tradition – building, lighting and gathering around
towering bonfires along the Mississippi River levee to light the way for
“Papa Noel,” Santa Claus, on Christmas Eve. This experience includes a
Creole Christmas Tour at Destrehan Plantation, Christmas Eve Dinner, and
a stop at the Mississippi River levee to view the bonfires.
After a short motorcoach ride, you’ll arrive at Destrehan Plantation for a Creole Christmas Tour of the Big House and self-guided tour of the
grounds. Continue the evening with a delicious Cajun Christmas Eve
Dinner featuring holiday favorites like Fried Turkey, Cornbread
Dressing, and more! Visit the cash bar to purchase beer and wine, before
heading to the next stop, the Mississippi River levee.
The highlight of the night is viewing the bonfires along the levee in Gramercy, LA. Guests will feel the warmth of the bonfires as they take
in the sights of the Christmas Eve firework show. Throughout this guided
experience, guests will learn about Cajun and Creole Holiday
Traditions, sing carols, and enjoy cookies and eggnog.
