The primary objective of the Bethlehem Live Festival is to breathe new life into Star Street, reviving its cultural, artistic, tourism, and commercial vibrancy. The majority of the four-day festival's events and activities are hosted right along this historic thoroughfare.
Festival Bazaar and Marketplace:
In collaboration with the Bethlehem Chamber of Industry and Commerce, the festival provides, families, vendors and local initiatives with the opportunity to sell traditional handicrafts, gifts, decorations, and homemade Palestinian products, cookies, food and beverages to the visiting crowds.
Children's Activities:
To engage young attendees, the festival hosts a variety of artistic and entertaining activities for children, including face painting and clown performances. This will not only draw Palestinian families to the bazaar but also allow the children to become active participants in the Bet Lahem Live experience.
