Algiers Bonfire and Concert

Organized by the Algiers Economic Development Foundation (AEDF), this event is Algiers’ biggest annual holiday celebration and New Orleans’ only official holiday bonfire! This is the neighborhood’s largest public event and pays tribute to Louisiana’s river parish bonfire tradition.

Enjoy local musical performances, eat food from local vendors, and shop at the holiday craft market! The star of the event is the iconic 30 foot sculptural bonfire, designed by NOLA Burners, which is then set ablaze.

Easily accessible via the Algiers ferry, and with the New Orleans’ skyline as the perfect backdrop, it’s a uniquely festive night filled cheer and local talent!

Free and open to the public, AEDF hosts this event each year to attract visitors to the Westbank, give local vendors an opportunity to sell their goods to thousands of potential customers, and provide our community with a family friendly holiday event!
