This coming Saturday and Sunday residents have the opportunity to stroll through a re-enactment of the Bethlehem Marketplace. The free event with live animals and more will take place this weekend from noon to 5 in the evening.



That was Pastor Joe Vinson. This year marks the 38th anniversary for the re-enactment of the Bethlehem Marketplace at the Southeast Baptist Church (708 Minerva Dr.).

The marketplace is a walk-through drama re-enacting how the village of Bethlehem might have appeared the morning after the birth of Jesus. The drama is put on entirely by approximately 150 church members.

There is no admission, no donation accepted, and nothing actually is for sale. No reservations are required. Tour time averages about one hour, even at times of peak crowds.
