A gift to our community every Christmas.
KABC is proud to produce its 37th annual Walk Thru Bethlehem, a living recreation of the life and times of those who went to be taxed as subjects of Caesar Augustus and are spoken of in the biblical story of the birth of Jesus Christ. Using the help of over 300 volunteers and 20,000 square feet of recreated city, we take the guests of Walk Thru Bethlehem on a 30-minute guided tour through the city and introduce them to the sorts of citizens that one might have encountered during that time – carpenters, wool dyers, temple scribes, innkeepers, etc – and at the end, an exhausted couple who has no choice but to see their child born in the humility of a manger.
This site is for guests wanting to reserve a walk.
WTB 2023 will be December 7th-10th!

- There will be hay on the ground as you walk through the city. Wheelchairs and strollers are welcome, just know that some spots might need an extra push.

The last work day is THIS SATURDAY!! From 7-11 am, we will be putting all the props out, getting the hay on the ground, and putting palm fronds on the roofs. Everyone is welcome! The more, the merrier. 🙌
Walk reservations are now open! If you do not get a reservation, no worries: you can still walk up. We will try our best to keep your wait time minimal, and will also have entertainment and snacks for those waiting. ![]()
