Final Project Idea: Bethlehem, Not Just the Christmas City

Beyond the Christmas City!  Many people only know Bethlehem, PA for its Christmas events and activities.  However, there are tons of other events that occur year round that offer fun for everyone…
Essentially, Callie and I propose to uncover some of the hidden gems within Bethlehem and the Lehigh Valley.  Not only do we want to let people know about some of the major events and festivals, but we want to discover and share some of the places locals enjoy.  With help from some of the local Bethlehem residents that we have connected with through social media, we would like to conduct interviews about these events, their purposes, their target audience, etc. 

Some of the events we could cover:
Winter Restaurant Week: January 30 to February 15
Shad Fishing Tournament: April 27-30
103rd Annual Bethlehem Bach Festival: First and Second Weekends in May; May 7-8 and 14-15
Mayfair Festival of the Arts: May 27-31
Southside Film Festival: June 15-19
Summer Restaurant Week: June 27 to July 3
Sportsfest: July 14-17
Blueberry Festival: July 16-17
Eagles Summer Training Camp: July 16 to August 18
Musikfest: August 5 through August 14
Celtic Classic: September 24 -26
Bethlehem Harvest Festival: October 9
Bethlehem Iron Pigs Games
Lehigh Valley Steelhawks Games
