Streets of Bethlehem

COMING DECEMBER 2026!
The most anticipated Christmas event in the Fox Cities.

Dec. 2026 | Alliance Church - Appleton

Step back in time and experience the Streets of Bethlehem. This interactive event will transport you back to the ancient town of Bethlehem, recreating the sights, sounds, & smells of one wondrous, holy night.  Encounter the nativity after you wander through the marketplace, bustling with villagers and live animals. Streets of Bethlehem offers a unique and unforgettable way to celebrate the birth of Jesus. Join us for an enchanting journey that brings history to life!

Engage all five senses, starting with touch. As you walk through the Streets, interact with live animals from Jesus' world, including camels, donkeys, and more. 

See the architecture of Bethlehem, yes, but also see who filled the streets; Roman soldiers, dancers, merchants, and more. As you move through Bethlehem, interact with all different types of people and see what Jesus saw when he walked outside. 

HEAR

Life in Bethlehem was lively. Dancers will fill the streets with joy. Hear the culture of Jesus' day through music and dance. Our trained dancers may even invite you to join in!
