Celebrate creativity and tradition at Bethlehem’s 61st Annual Fine Art and Craft Show on Mother’s Day Weekend!
The 61st Annual Downtown Bethlehem Fine Art and Craft Show is set to take place on Mother’s Day Weekend, May 9–10, 2026, in the heart of historic downtown Bethlehem, Pennsylvania.
Renowned for its upscale shops, restaurants, and vibrant arts scene, Bethlehem attracts an affluent crowd of shoppers and art enthusiasts. Mother’s Day weekend is particularly lively, drawing gift-buyers and patrons to the charming downtown shopping district. With its rich history and reputation as a community that values and supports the arts, Bethlehem continues to be a regional tourist destination.
Hosted by the Bethlehem Fine Arts Commission, the event features over $1,300 in prizes awarded at a reception for artists on Saturday, May 9. Enhancing the weekend experience, visitors will enjoy street music, a children’s fine art area, and a special artist-in-residence, all contributing to the show’s unique atmosphere and appeal to buyers.
The Bethlehem Fine Arts Commission promotes the event through a robust advertising campaign, including newspapers, art publications, printed materials, online calendars, and social media.
For the 2026 show, we anticipate welcoming approximately 50–90 fine artists and craft artisans, subject to street space availability.
