About Bentleyville Tour of Lights

Bentleyville Tour of Lights is a non-profit corporation that organizes a free annual family holiday light show complete with Santa, holiday music, and fire pits for roasting marshmallows. All surrounded by a magical atmosphere geared toward all ages young and old with a community mission of raising non- perishable food items and new unwrapped toys for families in need.

Bentleyville “Tour of Lights” is coming to Duluth’s Bayfront Festival Park in 2009. Plans are currently in the works to make Bentleyville more spectacular and magical than ever before.

All the wonderful attributes that make Bentleyville special will remain. Santa will visit children every day from Saturday, November 28 – Wednesday December 23rd. Children 10 and younger will receive the Bentleyville Tour of Lights knit hat from Santa along with a bag of cookies.

Free hot beverages and cookies will be served from the Cookie House, popcorn will be served free of charge from the Pop Corn Box and marshmallows can be picked up at the Marshmallow Hut and roasted at any one of 15 fire pits.

The large venue at BayFront Festival Park will allow for a grander light display, more fire pits for roasting marshmallows, a completely handicapped accessible display with more parking for the disabled. Regional music groups will perform every Friday & Saturday night from 7 – 9 pm.

Bentleyville is made up of a volunteer based board of directors, staff and dedicated volunteers working year-round to plan and organize this spectacular holiday light display. We will be open daily 5 – 10 pm for 37 days starting November 27, 2009 – January 2, 2010.

So come join us and stroll through Bentleyville’s holiday light display at Bayfront Festival Park. Enjoy the sounds of the holiday season and watch the faces of children light up with excitement!
