Now in its 27th year, Christkindlmarkt presented by Univest Financial is a one-of-a-kind family event that brings the spirit of Bethlehem alive with the season. This event was twice recognized as one of the best holiday markets in the U.S. by Travel + Leisure.

On Christmas Eve 1741, the little town of Bethlehem was given its name by the Moravians who settled there.
