If this is Christmas City, Bentleyville is Christmas Town.
The annual Tour of Lights winds its way through Bayfront Festival Park and includes more winter-themed details than a single set of eyes can possibly take in. Also: It’s got an extra-large purple-hued tree in the center complete with a blinking bulb tree topper.
Santa has been known to hang out on site.
The tour, which reportedly features 5.3 miles of rope light, also includes complimentary cookies, hot chocolate, popcorn and marshmallows. It’s free and open to the public.
New points of interest this year: Paul Bunyan and Babe, a new nativity scene and Split Rock Lighthouse.
