Great River Road, Louisiana: Having Bonfires on the Mississippi River

If you love a good bonfire then you’re going to love how they celebrate Christmas along the Great River Road, Louisiana. Between New Orleans and Baton Rouge, you’ll find locals piling up tinder and fuel in order to create huge bonfires, marking the banks of the Mississippi River.

The fires are said to light the way for Santa Clause, or, actually… Papa Noël, as he is known in French, a term also used in the Cajun region.
