Live music, cash bar, free champagne toast planned for inaugural open air New Year's Eve Celebration on Main Street.
The Downtown Bethlehem Association will host the first ever Main Street New Year’s Eve celebration to ring in 2013. The open-air celebration in the Historic Downtown will feature live music with the Trouble City All-Stars and the Lehigh Valley Harmonizers, a cash bar, food vendors and a free champagne toast at midnight.

For the first time, the Downtown Bethlehem Association and SouthSide merchants collaborated during December’s First Friday to bring a little holiday cheer into the homes of 15 children. On Thursday, more than four bags of unwrapped toys from Cutter’s Bike Shop, Godfrey Daniels, Youniversity of Music and Arts and Tallarico’s Chocolates were delivered to Fountain Hill Elementary School. Many of the participating drop-off locations offered deals and percentages off if any patron brought in a new toy for the kids. One downtown shop decided to help take care of the needs of the children, instead. Apotheca Salon and Boutique donated a pack of socks for every child to ensure warmth this winter! The Downtown Bethlehem Association and the …
