Bethlehem is kicking off Walnut Week and the start of the Christmas season with a free parking promotion at the city’s new Walnut Street Garage.
On select days from Thursday, November 20 through Saturday, November 22, 2025, visitors will receive their first four hours of parking free at the garage as part of its grand opening celebration.
The Bethlehem Parking Authority, together with Larken Associates and Lehigh Valley Health Network, part of Jefferson Health, is sponsoring the promotion.
Each day features a different community partner: the Parking Authority on Thursday, Larken Associates on Friday, and Lehigh Valley Health Network, part of Jefferson Health, on Saturday.
To take advantage of the offer, drivers will pull a ticket upon entering the Walnut Street Garage. When they exit, the first four hours will automatically be deducted from their stay. The promotion applies only at the Walnut Street Garage.
“To complement the excitement of Walnut Week, we’re inviting everyone to enjoy free parking as part of the celebration,” said Steven Fernstrom, Executive Director of the Bethlehem Parking Authority. He also thanked the Authority’s partners for helping make the promotion possible.
Walnut Week will feature new holiday lighting and initiatives, specials from local businesses, and events throughout Bethlehem’s downtown. With the opening of the Walnut Street Garage, visitors gain additional parking capacity along with modern amenities and easy payment options, making it easier for residents and guests to shop, dine, and enjoy the city during the holiday season.
