GRAMERCY - A holiday tradition in Louisiana continues tonight along the Mississippi River. 

Each year, dozens of bonfires are carefully built along the levee before they're burned on Christmas Eve to help guide Santa to the river parishes. 

The bonfires are visible from anywhere along the levee in Gramercy, Paulina, and Lutcher, as well as many other communities in the river parish area. 

For more information on the bonfires, where you can go to see then, and where the best spots are, visit New Orleans Tourism here.
