Join us with family or friends for a truly magical and completely free Christmas event on Saturday December 7 and Sunday December 8, like no other.
The vision for Night in Bethlehem Gold Coast is a seemingly simple one: to create a traditional looking village like you may have found in Bethlehem more than 2000 years ago – all for FREE, where visitors will taste, touch, see, smell and truly experience what life could have been like on that sacred, holy night with wise men, donkeys and one very special baby.
Guests can expect to feel and experience something different at Night in Bethlehem – Gold Coast.
The free event will be split into two parts.
INTERACTIVE POP-UP VILLAGE
The main village street will recreate an ancient community feel where goats and chickens roam amongst villagers and publicans alike. Have a go at learning a Hebrew dance, learn the children’s game of dreidel, walk down the laneway and learn the carpenter’s art of whittling or have a go at embossing at leather school. Kids will enjoy dressing up during story time and cinching a light pot at the pottery booth, before painting at the star David booth. Although watch out for the raucous centurions running the place – you’ll want to stay on their good side!
LIVE MUSICAL NATIVITY
After the fun of the outdoor Bethlehem pop up village, wander inside the comfort of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints chapel and enjoy a serene live musical nativity. With several shows on each evening, the show is a great way to kick off the Christmas season with a spectacular musical experience showcasing angels, wise men, Mary and Joseph and of course baby Jesus.
