Algiers Bonfire & Concert

Saturday, December 6, 2025 at 10:30 pm

December 7, 2025

Each year, along the banks of the Mississippi River, a time-honored tradition is observed in Algiers– with a dash of New Orleans flavor! As the only holiday bonfire in New Orleans, this event is both an opportunity to take part in a unique Louisiana cultural tradition and a fun, family-friendly annual community gathering. Join us in paying tribute to Louisiana’s river parish bonfire tradition, while listening to musical performances, eating food from local vendors, and shopping from local artisans at the holiday market. However, the highlight of the event is the 30-foot sculptural bonfire, designed by NOLA Burners, which is set ablaze after darkness falls on the banks of the river. Easily accessible via the Algiers ferry, and with the New Orleans’ skyline as the perfect backdrop, this event cannot be missed! Free & Open to the Public
