Christmas
On December 24, 1741, our city was christened "Bethlehem" by the Moravian Count Nicholas Ludwig von Zinzendorf, and, in 1937, Bethlehem was deemed "Christmas City, USA," making Historic Bethlehem Museums & Sites the perfect blend of rich history & Christmas traditions.
Historic Bethlehem Museums & Sites' Christmas season officially kicks off November 17, 2017 and runs through January 14, 2018!
Check out our exciting events & activities during the Christmas Season such as:
- Tour Bethlehem at it's brightest - decked with dazzling twinkle lights, jingling with Christmas cheer, and full of wonderful activities.
- Explore Gilded, an exhibit featuring sparkling and opulent display of craftsmanship and luxury.
