In your preparations to say goodbye to 2017, you may still be looking for a fun, local way to ring in the New Year when the ball drops.
As usual, our music scene delivers!
There is no shortage of options for the local music lover to enjoy this New Year’s Eve. Below, we give you plenty to choose from (presented in order of start time).
The First Friday of the month meant that it was once again time for South Bethlehem to be filled with the sounds of live, local music.

On Sunday, the Valley’s stars came out in droves to celebrate local music at the 18th Annual Lehigh Valley Music Awards. While there, they enjoyed an extravaganza that featured breathtaking performances, crisp production, and another record-breaking night for local singer-songwriter Scott Marshall.
If you’re like us (or Rebecca Black), you won’t want this weekend to end. Fortunately, you have a great Sunday night entertainment option ahead of you at Godfrey Daniels in Bethlehem.
