Bethlehem Halloween Bash
Second Annual Halloween Festival
The second annual BOOthlehem Halloween Bash, scheduled for October 24, 25 and 26. This marks the return of several spooky activities from last year, with a few additional surprises. Organized by Bethlehem Events, a volunteer, non-profit organization devoted to community enrichment, the weekend offers a multitude of family-friendly activities.
Community members are encouraged to kick off the weekend with a pumpkin carving party at Rek.Lis Brewing Company. The event starts at 5:00 pm on Thursday, and several free pumpkins will be available for carving. Each of the completed jack o’ lanterns will then be distributed along Main Street for the ninth annual Pumpkin Stroll the next evening.
Schedule of Events
On Friday, October 25, from 3:30 to 5:30 pm, the Bethlehem Elementary School parents’ association, NEST, once again hosts their annual Trunk or Treat event. This year, they’ve decided to move the event to Bethlehem’s Gazebo Park. Several other family-friendly holiday activities will immediately follow.
The evening progresses with glow performers, haunted hayrides and ghost stories at Gazebo Park. All activities and refreshments offered throughout the evening are free. The schedule of events will wrap at 8:00 pm, allowing for both an action-packed evening and a restful sleep for younger children.
Saturday morning kicks of bright and early with the second annual Haunted Hustle 5K Fun Run at the Bethlehem Country Club. Registration opens at 8:00 am, and the race commences at 9:00. The gently rolling hills of this historic Donald Ross-designed golf course offers breathtaking views. As well as a unique, off-road running experience that is perfect for all ages and abilities. Early registration is available at racewire.com.
