All aboard Gray Line’s Bonfire Express!
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 guided transportation to the bonfires along the Mississippi River levee located 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.
