EVENTS
Kick off your Christmas season with a wholesome, homespun holiday festival the whole family will enjoy as “The Magic Returns” to Bethlehem! Bethlehem means “house of bread” but you won’t need much bread to afford the no-cost nostalgic events, games, entertainment and food on offer. Ringed by snow covered balsams and stunning views of Mount Washington and the Presidentials and breathe in the clear mountain air of the highest elevated town east of the Rockies while the quaint Main Street becomes an old-fashioned Winter Wonderland. Your days will be merry and bright as you join us in lighting up the night the North Country way!
