Each winter, the Bentleyville Tour of Lights transforms the Bayfront Festival Park in Duluth into an illuminated winter wonderland with colorful displays and holiday music. Dubbed "America's Largest Free Walk-Through Lighting Display," Bentleyville's festive display features more than 4 million lights. The 2017 event will also feature the #OnlyinMN monument.
Bentleyville's 12-story Christmas tree is more than twice the height of the one in Rockefeller Center and is covered with 100,000 LED lights that dance to holiday music. Using more than 5.5 miles of rope light, festive displays include Sesame Street, Clifford the Big Red Dog, Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer and the Island of Misfit Toys, Minnesota icons such as Split Rock Lighthouse, Duluth's Aerial Lift Bridge, Paul Bunyan, Babe the Blue Ox and more.
The spectacle runs from Nov. 18 through Dec. 26, 2017. The show is free, but monetary donations are appreciated. Guests are also encouraged to bring a new, unwrapped toy or non-perishable food items for the Salvation Army.
Parking is available in front of Bayfront Festival Park. Visitors are encouraged to use the free Jingle Bus shuttle service that is available at multiple locations throughout the city or board the festive Bentleyville Train that arrives from the Edgewater Hotel & Water Park.
Nearby family attractions include the Great Lakes Aquarium, Lake Superior Zoo, Spirit Mountain Ski and Recreation Area, and numerous restaurants and hotels.
