Journey to Bethlehem is an annual event in Fort
Assiniboine. The hamlet is transformed into Bethlehem with
about 200 volunteers working to make it a true holiday
experience for visitors. Those who attend will see what it was
like walking the last mile into Bethlehem on the night Jesus
was born. The event is hosted by the Fort Assiniboine and
Friends Christian Community, but the Journey to Bethlehem
is a non-denominational event. Everyone is welcome. This is
an outdoor event, so please dress warmly.
Time: 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. Tours leave every 8-10
minutes from the Catholic Church
Admission: FREE (Donations will be accepted for the
Friendship Centre.)
