Our 2021 Bethlehem Bucket List

Looking for family fun in Bethlehem in 2021? We have your ultimate list!

By Nicole Zawidski, Publisher of Bethlehem Macaroni Kid December 31, 2020

Well, that was a year. Am I right? 

As we turn our calendars to 2021 we're feeling so much more hopeful that the end of the pandemic is in sight and are optimistic about a much brighter year ahead in Bethlehem, PA. So my family worked on creating a 2021 bucket list of fun things we want to do in Bethlehem in 2021, many of which we missed out on during 2020 because of COVID. 

I wanted to share it with you! 

So here's our 2021 family bucket list of family-friendly, post-pandemic fun in Bethlehem (in no particular order!). We'll continue adding to it as the year goes on. What does your family have on your bucket list of family fun in Bethlehem for the coming year?

2021 Bethlehem Family Fun Bucket List



  • Musikfest 2021 is what I am most excited about. OMGosh -- just thinking of how AWESOME it was to see Weezer in 2019 gives me goosebumps! 


  • The Blueberry Festival in July
  • Apple Days in September
  • Christkindlmarkt for the holidays
  • Second Saturday Kids Series at the Frank Banko Alehouse Cinema (once they start-up again, check our event calendar!)
