Historic Bishop Hill invites you to join our 2025 Lucia Nights (Festival of Lights) celebration on Friday December 12 and Saturday December 13 from 6 to 9 p.m.

On both nights, businesses and museums will have Lucia Girls to greet guests. Around the village, each building will have a single candle in each and every window, and sidewalks will also be illuminated by candles. Restaurants will be open both evenings. Special Christmas gifts will also be on sale at all the stores.

At the Steeple Building Museum, Coffee Creek will be playing a variety of Christmas and folk music from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. on December 12 and 13. The Steeple Building is located at 103 North Bishop Hill Street, Bishop Hill, IL. Performance is free but donations will be accepted.

Lucia Nights is organized by the Bishop Hill Heritage Association. Activities are partly funded by Community State Bank, Illinois Arts Council, and the Barbro Osher Pro Suecia Foundation. Regional Media is our major media sponsor. For more details about Lucia Nights, view www.visitbishophill.com or call 309-927-3899.
