What is Bentleyville – Bentleyville Tour of Lights is a walk through holiday lighting extravaganza! We take over Bayfront Festival Park, on the shores of Lake Superior in Downtown Duluth, and decorate it with over 5,000,000 lights! Bentleyville has been a popular attraction for families to make memories and have fun!
This 2024 season we will be celebrating our 21 years of Bentleyville! Click here to read our history!
We have a community mission of raising non-perishable food items and new unwrapped toys for families in need.
Check out the Crowd-O-Meter below to plan your trip accordingly
Admission – Bentleyville has free admission for all guests, as well as free hot cocoa & coffee, free cookies, free freshly popped popcorn, free marshmallows to roast, and free visits with Santa & Mrs. Claus! Parking is $10 per vehicle.
How to Dress – BENTLEYVILLE IS AN OUTDOOR EVENT! DRESS FOR BEING OUTSIDE IN THE COLD!
It is always easier to take off a layer than to add one (though you can stop in our Gift Shop and pick up a hat or sweatshirt!) Our event is on the shores of Lake Superior and the weather conditions can change dramatically. Please dress for strong winds and cold temps!
Bentleyville is a proud partner with the Salvation Army. Guests are encouraged to bring a nonperishable food item or new unwrapped toy to donate to the Salvation Army for those in need. Food and toys collected at Bentleyville are distributed to seven communities in Northern Minnesota and Wisconsin. Last season, over 257,000 Bentleyville guests helped raise 7,984 lbs. of food and 1,351 toys!
