With infection rates on the rise and growing concerns about COVID-19 as we move indoors for the winter, the First Night Bethlehem Organizing Committee has decided not to hold the event this year. The Committee thanks everyone -- both sponsors and attendees -- for their past support and looks forward to continuing this local tradition next year at First Night Bethlehem 2022.

Even though we will need to skip a year of celebration, community needs never take a year off.  There are other ways to support local businesses, and non-profits that benefit our neighbors in need.
