New Orleans Bonfire Christmas Eve 2025. These massive bonfires on the river levees are intended to light the way for “papa noël,” the cajun santa claus. Join us in paying tribute to louisiana’s river parish bonfire tradition, while listening to musical performances, eating food from local vendors, and shopping from local artisans at the holiday.

There will be a 3 to 4 block walk to the levee. Come gather in front of america’s.
