Historic Bishop Hill IL 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.
