Where will your group be celebrating the holidays this year? We invite you to visit Christmas City! Almost every town in Germany hosts a Christmas Market and so does Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, where white lights line the cobbled streets for a full month, a tradition that dates back hundreds of years. The market air is filled with the scent of cinnamon and pine as you search for those perfect gifts for special friends. You will find handmade ornaments, special one-of-a-kind gifts, toys, nutcrackers, and so much more.

Testimonials

Here's what people are saying about their trip to the Christmas City in 2011.

Megan Roehrenbeck

[...] Southern Gentleman concert last night. From start to finish it was incredible. The band even came out for an encore and took pictures with fans! Not only did I feel like I was actually at a rock concert but the expression on my friends faces were priceless. They kept on looking at me and saying you're the best!!!

Amanda Rapp, East Coast Touring Company

[...] Chuck Negron this past Saturday. My friends and I had such a wonderful night. It was the first time I've been to the Center & the Musikfest CafÃ© and I must say the entire venue is absolutely fantastic. The architecture and scenery are gorgeous. Every staff member I encountered was extremely friendly and helpful. I was surprised to see the menu items and bar items were moderately priced which is great.
