The Christmas Tradition You Didn’t Know You Were Missing.

Once again, this December, Dublin, PA, becomes the tiny little town of Bethlehem. 12,000+ guests will experience a nativity that isn’t a play to watch — it’s a live-action world to walk through.

Every Sense Engaged.
Every Heart Invited To Believe.

Each firelit stall, shepherd’s song, and angel’s proclamation is designed to place you inside the story — so ‘That you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in His name.’ (John 20:31)

What Should I Expect?

Begin in Caesar Augustus’ courtyard, then walk candlelit paths into a Bethlehem alive with live music, wood smoke from the blacksmith’s fire, bustling villagers, market stalls, even camels!

Shepherds, angels, Roman soldiers, and wise men surround you, portrayed by hundreds of actors, as each step draws you closer to the manger — the holy, history-making heart of the story.

The evening concludes with the warmth of homemade cookies and hot chocolate — the perfect close to an unforgettable night.
