Founded on Christmas Eve, 1741, by German Moravians (a Protestant sect), the city of Bethlehem, PA was named after the city of the birthplace of Jesus, and has also become known, appropriately enough, as Christmas City. Bethlehem is located along the Lehigh River in Northampton and Lehigh counties - in the Lehigh Valley region of eastern Pennsylvania - approx. 30 miles northwest of Doylestown, in Bucks County, PA. Situated in the center of the Lehigh Valley, Bethlehem is the 7th largest city in Pennsylvania, comprising Pennsylvania's 3rd-largest metropolitan area - a region of over 700 sq mi and with a population of approx. ¾ M. Together with Allentown and Easton, the Valley includes Lehigh, Northampton, and Carbon counties in Pennsylvania, and Warren County in the adjacent state of New Jersey.

Bethlehem became well known throughout the country primarily for its industrial history. For almost 100 years, the city's economy revolved around the production of steel, which made Bethlehem an important part of America's industrial development and economy. The Bethlehem Steel plant closed permanently in 1995 and was transformed into a cultural center. Though steeped in history, Lehigh Valley has also developed into a region known today for its nightlife, entertainment, arts, and outdoor activities. Music, and the arts, is very much alive. Bethlehem is renouned for it's musical tradition - most-notably the oldest musical group in America - the Moravian Trombone Choir - founded in 1754. The Bach Choir of Bethlehem performs annually at the Bethlehem Bach Festival - held on the campus of Lehigh University. For more modern tastes the city is famous for its annual Musikfest, a 10-day music festival that draws over a million people each August.

Retail business in Bethlehem has experienced something of a renaissance. Stores, including several malls, galleries, restaurants and the opening of the Sands Casino offers a long list of options for the many tourists and visitors. A formidable shopping area is bordered by Moravian College, the Bethlehem Commons Mall and the historic Sun Inn (1758). Numerous boutiques have opened, offering artwork, clothing, antiques, oriental rugs, jewelry, hand-cut crystal, holiday decorations, gourmet foods and crafted beverages - including a number of distilleries, wineries and breweries from across the region. The 150K sq ft Wind Creek (Sands) Bethlehem is a 4-star casino hotel featuring more than 3,000 slot machines and 180 live table games including blackjack, craps, and roulette as well as nearly 40 live poker tables in their popular Sands Poker Room.

Just down the street from Wind Creek Bethlehem is the ArtsQuest Center at SteelStacks - a cultural center that contains both indoor and outdoor venues spread across a 10-acre campus, and is home to such famous events as Musikfest, Oktoberfest, and more. The center occupies the site of the former Bethlehem Steel plant, which has been reallocated as a community space dedicated to the arts, culture and education.
