Families looking for a fun and affordable day out can mark their calendars for Historic Bethlehem’s Community Heritage Day on Saturday, April 18, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Colonial Industrial Quarter in Bethlehem. Admission is free, and the event brings 18th-century Bethlehem to life with hands-on activities, artisan demonstrations, food, music, and open houses throughout the historic site.
Many Lehigh Valley residents still remember marking life’s big moments with cakes, pastries, and tortes from Groman’s Bakery. On Saturday, Jan. 17, 2026, the community can revisit that legacy during a special program at the Kemerer Museum of Decorative Arts in Bethlehem.
