On Memorial Day morning, a single solemn melody will move through Bethlehem, passed from musician to musician in a citywide act of remembrance.

The 13th annual TAPS over Bethlehem returns Monday, May 25, 2026, with 61 trumpet players lining the streets from Nisky Hill Cemetery to Memorial Park Cemetery. The first notes will sound at 8 a.m. from Nisky Hill Cemetery, beginning a continuous performance of “Taps” that carries across Bethlehem before ending at the flagpole in Memorial Park Cemetery.

The event began in 2014 through the vision of Dan Deysher, a World War II veteran, Liberty High School alumnus, Navy musician, and longtime Bethlehem resident who believed deeply in the power of a live bugler to honor fallen service members.
