Bayfront Festival Park Concerts 2025

Visited during Bentleyville lights event. First time visiting and I thought it was good. Parking was simple ($10 fee) and there were parking attendants helping with traffic. Light setup was very nice and there were characters dressed up interacting with guest. Definitely worth it. I would recommend visiting. Family and little kids friendly. Couple date and group dates works as well. Lots of photo opportunities.

This is a fun venue for all ages to visit during the Christmas season. It’s located waterfront near the aquarium. The cost is $10 for parking otherwise it’s a free event. I rated it a 4 since it was frustrating getting into the parking lot. They should hire someone to direct traffic when it’s so busy. It took us a half hour to move 150 feet. Once inside the lot, there were plenty of people directing where to park. There are shuttles from various places only during the weekend. Once inside there’s plenty of room and it’s fun for all ages to stroll under and around the lights. We enjoyed the themes, especially the one thanking the “troops” since our daughter is in the Army National Guard.

We go every year! And this year is their 20th anniversary! Kids love the music, lights, hot cocoa, popcorn, cookies, roasting marshmallows, and getting their hat and goodies from visiting Santa! They provide wheelchairs and simple strollers to borrow at the entrance if you don't have your own. Dress warm! You're right along Lake Superior! And if it's windy? It's VERY chilly. Have fun!

Came here to see the Bentleyville lights. Even though it was sprinkling, we had a great time. The reflection of the lights made it better.

Magical, no matter your age! The experience was perfect for boosting the Christmas spirit! Kudos to all the volunteers that make Bentleyville happen!!
