Felicity Plantation Bonfire with Transportation from New Orleans
Overview
Cool Destinations invites you to historic Felicity Plantation for an exclusive evening celebrating Louisiana’s cherished Christmas Eve bonfire tradition. For generations, communities upriver from New Orleans have lit towering levee bonfires to guide Papa Noël, preserving a magical holiday tradition.
Departing the Cool Destinations Lighthouse by motor coach at 4:00 p.m., enjoy a candlelit plantation tour with lantern-lit pathways, storytelling, and holiday carols. Savor a classic Louisiana dinner of gumbo, fried fish, potato salad, French bread, and bread pudding, with complimentary non-alcoholic beverages and a cash bar for beer and wine.
