Sunglasses can be pretty cool - even on children. However, protecting your child's sensitive eyes is more important than looking cool.Whether you're vacationing at the beach or relaxing in your garden at home –
Bethlehem Live

Bethlehem Live
Central Stare School will once again be transformed into the City of Bethlehem.
We are super excited to see Bethlehem Live BACK in 2022. After a few years away we will once again step back in time with the return of Bundaberg's Christmas Festival, proudly bought to you by SU Australia in partnership with the Combined Churches of Bundaberg. This free family fun event is very for everyone to attend.
Walk through the marketplace of Bethlehem as it was 2,000 years ago. Beware of the Roman Soldiers and don’t forget to sign Caesar’s Census.

The concept of Bethlehem Live is bought to you by the Combined Churches of Bundaberg in partnership with SU Australia. The concept of Bethlehem Live came from Townsville’s very successful Christmas Stable on The Strand event which has been running now for around 20 years.
The heart behind Bethlehem Live is to provide a free & inclusive Christmas event that is interactive, fun, and joyful, that not only brings the story of Christmas to life in a unique and exploratory way but also seeks to offer practical care and support to those within our community who may be doing it tough. Each day we see and work with families and individuals who are struggling with grief and loss, sickness and disease, financial issues, and relationship breakdowns, to name just a few. These types of situations are heightened at festive times. It is our hope that this festival will not only draw our community together but will also help alleviate some of these stressors by connecting those in need to the variety of care support agencies that will be on-site throughout the event.
This event is for everybody and we hope that you will come along and check it out! Preview of what to expect:
