Bethlehem Lights Up: Annual Tree Lighting Ceremony Ushers in Holiday Season

The annual tree lighting ceremony in Bethlehem, held at Payrow Plaza, was a vibrant event that officially kicked off the Christmas season in the city. The evening was filled with musical performances, culminating in the lighting of the Christmas tree. This event not only symbolized the beginning of holiday festivities but also brought together the community in a shared experience of joy and celebration.

Pints & Pies Expands: Bethlehem Welcomes Popular Pub’s Second Location

Pints & Pies Neighborhood Pub, a popular spot in Wilson, Northampton County, is expanding to Bethlehem with a second location opening on November 29. Known for its extensive beer menu and homemade pizzas, the new pub at 21 E. Elizabeth Ave. has been extensively renovated to offer a modern yet classic pub experience. With over 100 beer options, a variety of signature pizzas, and a commitment to a friendly, community-focused atmosphere, Pints & Pies is set to become a new favorite in Bethlehem.

Pennsylvania’s Deer Hunting Season Opened: A Tradition of Anticipation & Regulation

The much-anticipated firearms deer hunting season in Pennsylvania begins on November 25, continuing a rich tradition with an estimated 650,000 hunters participating. The season, which runs until December 9, allows hunters to take one legal antlered buck and additional antlerless deer per valid tag. The Lehigh Valley region shows promising signs for a successful season, with changes in deer movement patterns and an increase in hunting activity. New regulations have been introduced for deer processing in Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) areas, and expanded hunting opportunities are available in specific units to control CWD spread.
