Go 'Great Gatsby' at Downtown Rooftop Party

The Great Gatsby will be the theme of the annual summer rooftop party on Friday, July 12 at the North Street Parking Garage.

The Downtown Bethlehem Association, which is hosting the event with the Bethlehem Parking Authority, is calling the event, which will run from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m., the Summer White Party.

There will be an all-white, 1920s theme to the party. Dress to impress and enter a costume contest for best dressed man, woman and couple.

Features of the party also include food vendors, beer and wine, games, and entertainment provided by Slicked Up Nines and DJ Slick Vick. Tickets are $10 and can be purchased at Girlfriend’s Boutique (573 Main Street), Donegal Square (534 Main Street), or online from the Downtown Bethlehem Association. The $10 admission ticket includes all of the entertainment and door prizes, and will also act as a free parking voucher for the night.

The Rooftop Party was created by the Downtown Bethlehem Association Historic District merchants in an effort to attract local Bethlehem residents and to raise awareness about parking downtown. There will be 1,200 tickets available, but they are expected to go fast.

In the event of rain, the party will be moved one floor below the roof of the North Street Parking Garage. An announcement will be made the morning of the party.
