Head to Duluth between November 21 and December 26 for Bentleyville “Tour of Lights,” an amazing and FREE festive light display on the shores of Lake Superior.
Bentleyville Tour of Lights, one of the popular locations on our List of Holiday Lights in Minnesota, is a free walk-through light display at Bayfront Festival Park in Duluth. This year marks its 23rd season, with more than 5 million lights!
We’ve gone several years and find it to be a memorable and fun event for the whole family. It is outside and up north, so be sure to dress for the cold weather!
Besides the amazing lights, Bentleyville also gives out free hot chocolate and coffee, free cookies, free popcorn and free marshmallows to roast at the firepits. Santa and Mrs. Claus are there nightly from November 21 to December 23, and kids 12 and under who visit Santa get a FREE Bentleyville knit hat and a bag of cookies!

Bentleyville also collects non-perishable food items and new, unwrapped toys for families in need, and it’s an official Salvation Army drop-off site.
Bentleyville Tour of Lights opens Saturday, November 21, and is open nightly through December 26. Hours are Sunday – Thursday 5 – 9pm and Friday – Saturday 5 – 10pm. Check their visitor guide for tips on when to visit to avoid the crowds.
