Bethlehem Putting on the Ritz Saturday

Bethlehem is dressing up Saturday, Sept. 22 when 15 area boutiques show their fall fashions under the Celtic Classic tent.

The show, a partnership between the Downtown Bethlehem Association and the Greater Lehigh Valley Chamber of Commerce, begins with cocktails at 5:30 p.m. with an open bar, passed appetizers and food for purchase at chef-attended stations. Attendees can mingle with the boutique owners at their pop-up shops or get their pictures taken with the Bethlehem Mounted Police, who will benefit from a portion of the proceeds.

The runway show begins at 7 p.m. with DJ Discreet as 15 Downtown Bethlehem boutiques show their fashions. Models will feature hair and make-up by local salons and stylists. 

The after-party, presented by B104, will include a concert by The Waffle Stompers, a cash bar, chef stations with food for sale, private shopping and an opportunity to meet the models and backstage crew. 

A raffle will be held for a chance to win a $25 gift certificate to each of the boutiques in the show -- a $350 value. 

Fashion Show tickets are $45 per person, including the cocktail hour, runway show and after-party. Some boutiques, such as Shuze at 530 Main St., are selling discounted tickets for $25. After-party only tickets are available for $10.
