It will feature music performances, a tree lighting, photos with Santa, a hayride, a book and cookie sale, crafts and gifts galore (indoors and out), food and refreshments, Santa's workshop, scavenger hunt, bell choir concerts, a 5K "Santa Made Me Do It" road race, and fun for the whole family.

The 85 foot tree on the Bethlehem Town Green is the largest decorated Christmas Tree in the area. High winds during March 2022 blew the star off the top of the tree. Photos can be seen here. However, Thomaston Savings Bank provided a grant to pay for fabricating a new star, the lights, and the mounting hardware. Bartlett Tree Experts donated the labor and equipment to install the new star. The 8 pointed star is 6' tall and 4' wide, and has 85 cool white LED lights around its perimeter.
