Bethlehem is a thriving community located on the northern banks of the Catawba River. With its many lovely waterfront residential developments and small town living with the convenience of a five minute drive to Hickory make Bethlehem an ideal place for families and businesses alike. Bethlehem is known statewide for its Christmas Star Lighting and the re-creation of the original town of Bethlehem and the birth of Jesus Christ. Residents and visitors wear period costumes and stroll the streets of “old” Bethlehem.
