The Algiers Bonfire is Algiers’ largest public event and pays tribute to Louisiana’s river parish bonfire tradition. Listen to musical performances, eat food from local vendors, and shop at the holiday craft market. The star of the event however, is the 30’ sculptural bonfire, designed by NOLA Burners, which is then set ablaze. Easily accessible with the Algiers ferry, and with the New Orleans’ skyline as the perfect backdrop, this event cannot be missed! This year, join us for brass and a bonfire on the batture... Performances by The Young Pinstripe Brass Band, the Edna Karr Marching Band, and others will set the scene for a wonderful Holiday event done New Orleans Style! Specialty holiday cocktails provided by Happy Raptor Distilling and beer from Southern Eagle. Get your holiday shopping done at our Algiers holiday market, in partnership with Bounyful Market and StayLocal!
