Green Mill and Bentleyville – Duluth, MN

Monday, December 22, 2025, from 4:00 pm – 7:00 pm (CT)

Please join us for an early dinner at Green Mill for Pizza, Chicken Wings, Salad, and Soda. After dinner, everyone will receive a parking voucher to head over to the Bentleyville Lights Display! We won’t have a formal group gathering or tour at the lights, but we encourage families to connect and enjoy them together!
