The Original Cajun Bonfire Celebration

Experience the spirit of a true Cajun Christmas by the Mississippi River, reimagined at Felicity Plantation. On Christmas Eve in St. James Parish, the levee comes alive with towering pyramids and intricately shaped bonfires — from fleur-de-lis to turtles and fish — welcoming “Papa Noël” and honoring a beloved community tradition.
This year, we bring that warmth to Felicity Plantation. Join us on December 20th or 27th for the Original Cajun Bonfire Celebration — an evening of gumbo and hors d’oeuvres, an open beer & wine bar, and a fire‑lit gathering under oak trees. While the River Road bonfires glow for all to see, our event offers a more intimate experience where guests can enjoy the same old‑world charm in a relaxed, private setting.
Gather your family and friends, reserve a table for eight, or join individually, and immerse yourself in festive Louisiana hospitality. Whether you’re drawn by the glow of the fire or the flavors of a Cajun‑style celebration, you’ll take in the warmth and atmosphere of the levee bonfires, now brought to life on the grounds of Felicity Plantation.
