Incredible Minnesota Light Display Up for Best in America Again
This cold weather has me fast-tracked to the holidays. The kiddo already insisted we put up the Christmas tree, so why not start chatting about other festive traditions, right?
Do you have a holiday light display that’s part of your yearly must-see list? I’m still building mine, but there’s one Minnesota favorite that keeps popping up, and apparently, the rest of the country has noticed too.
USA Today's 10Best recently dropped its nominations for the Best Public Holiday Lights Display in America, and one spot right here in the Land of 10,000 Lakes made the cut - again!
It’s in some pretty impressive company, too. Other nominees include the Rockefeller Center tree in New York City, Madison’s Capitol tree lighting, California’s Festival of Lights, and West Palm Beach's Holiday in Paradise.
Incredible Minnesota Light Display Up for Best in America Again:
So, which Minnesota display is receiving all the national love for the fourth year in a row? Bentleyville “Tour of Lights,” of course - America’s largest free walk-through light display.
If you’ve never been, Bentleyville will light up the North Shore for the 22nd year this winter, taking over 20 acres along the shores of Lake Superior with more than five million lights.
Visitors can stroll through tunnels of lights, meet Santa, sip hot chocolate, and snack on popcorn and cookies under the twinkle of holiday magic, and in case you missed that free part, yes, it's all free.
