Christmas Town Festival – Bethlehem
Saturday, December 8, 2018

Head off to Christmas Town for a magical holiday experience! Bethlehem, CT is where today’s adventure takes place.

Follow the star and attend the town Christmas Festival. For the 38th year, this tradition will get locals and travelers from afar in the holiday spirit. The old-fashioned Christmas celebration will occur all around the town green. This annual event will feature: music performances, tree lighting, photos with Santa, horse-drawn hayrides, a book and cookie sale, crafts and gifts galore (indoors and out), food and refreshments, strolling carolers, holiday characters, a roving train ride, Santa’s workshop, and a bell choir concert. Not only will the town green warm you up for the
holidays, but so too will roaming the town to see other holiday events and sights.

Each year, the town’s people create a Christmas ornament. This year, take home a piece of the tradition to hang.
While visiting Christmas Town, perhaps you’ll want to stop by the Bethlehem Post Office to mail out your season’s greetings. Choose from one of the 83 hand-made festive Cachets (since 1938, a new design has been created yearly) to decorate your holiday mail.

Be sure to dress for the weather! Mail sent out and anything purchased at the festival will be covered on your own.

Please join us Wednesday, October 10th as we day trip to Haddam for fine dining on the LADY KATHERINE River Cruise then off to see the great DROWSY CHAPERONE show at the Godspeed.

In this hilarious valentine to show tunes and show people, a forgotten Jazz Age musical comes to life in the living room of a die hard theater fan. As he eagerly spins his favorite cast album, a fizzy vintage show suddenly appears, exploding with song, dance and pure entertainment. Our quirky narrator fills the plot holes, with laugh-out-loud results. Packed with show-stopping numbers and larger-than-life characters, here’s a Tony Award-winning spoof that will have everyone falling in love with zany musical comedy!
