Every other Saturday, 100 bonfires burn in the center of three rivers that flow through downtown. It's awesome to see, plus there is plenty of live music and performers traveling throughout!

You'll be moved by the mood, the music , the magic. It's mesmerizing! Make your your way to Gondola Landing for the best vantage point. The smell of the wood burning is amazing in itself!
