Duluth’s Beloved Bentleyville Tour of Lights Will Be Returning To Minnesota

The year 2020 will definitely go down on the books as one of the worst in many people’s lives. It’s been a difficult year for everyone, especially those who have been directly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. It’s impossible to get the year back, but it is possible to shine just a little brightness on what remains of 2020. One way to do that is by visiting this year’s Bentleyville. Despite the state of the world, this beloved event is coming back to Minnesota for the 2020 holiday season. Read on below to learn more about this year’s Bentleyville:

Bentleyville is a popular annual Christmas celebration held in Duluth, Minnesota. It is made up of millions of colorful lights.

For years, this has been one of the most popular Christmas displays in Minnesota. People from around the state travel and beyond travel to Duluth to see the lights in person.

The event has traditionally been open only to pedestrians. But in 2020, the event is set up as a drive-thru lights display!

This year, in order to keep the event safe in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, organizers have created a display that can be enjoyed from the comfort of your car. So load up your family and head to Duluth!

The event is only open to vehicles that are under 8 feet tall and less than 20 feet long.

Masks are not required, as you’ll be in your personal vehicle. But attendees are required to stay in their vehicle for the entire duration.

This is a great way to see holiday lights in a whole new way! As usual, unique displays will depict favorite animals, holiday characters, pieces of Minnesota culture, and more.

The event lasts from November 21 to December 27. It will cost $10 per vehicle - paid at the gate - to drive through the event. Being one of Minnesota’s best holiday traditions, we think it’s well worth it!
