Historic Bishop Hill invites you to join our 2024 Lucia Nights (Festival of Lights) celebration on Friday December 13 and Saturday December 14 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, Hammer and Pick will be playing a variety of Christmas and folk music from 6 to 9 p.m. on December 13 and 14. 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 the Bishop Hill Arts Council, Bishop Hill Old Settler’s Association, Community State Bank, Illinois Arts Council, Bill and Susan Sherrard Foundation, Barbro Osher Pro Suecia Foundation, and SWEA-Chicago.
