Two ways to keep Bethlehem going.
Keep it free
Tickets stay free because neighbors give.
DonateWhat is Journey Through Bethlehem?
A free live nativity in Trophy Club, now in its third year. Your evening starts with a live musical telling of the nativity. Afterward, you walk through an outdoor Bethlehem with a marketplace, food, crafts and artisans, carolers, and live animals. Volunteers from local churches and the community build and run every bit of it, and Faith & Fellowship Foundation presents it.
Why reserve if it’s free?
Spacing guests out by time keeps the marketplace and the road from getting packed, so everyone gets a good look at the camel.
Is it outdoors?
Most of the event is outdoors. Please dress warmly and bring gloves for little hands. Follow Journey Through Bethlehem on Instagram for nightly weather updates.
Can we bring a stroller or wheelchair?
We’re still confirming the route details. If anyone in your group uses a wheelchair, walker, or stroller, email us before you reserve, and we’ll help you plan.
How early should we arrive?
Please arrive about 20 minutes before your showtime to allow time to park and walk over. Aim to be in line 10 minutes before the musical begins.
When does Bethlehem close?
Bethlehem stays open until 10 PM after the last show.
Is Spanish or ASL available?
Spanish is available at every show. ASL interpreting is available at the 6 PM and 7 PM shows each night, December 3–6. Sunday’s 6 PM show is the invitation-only VIP event.
Is food free, and are there restrooms?
Marketplace food is free. Restrooms are inside the church in several locations.
Where do we leave charity donations?
Use the Trek donation carts along the waiting lines, including at the 9 PM shows. Bring cleaning supplies for Catholic Charities Fort Worth, non-perishable food for Roanoke Food Pantry, or new, unwrapped toys for GRACE.
How many tickets can I reserve?
You can reserve up to eight tickets per reservation. Please reserve a ticket for each person in your party. For a larger group, email the team before reserving.
Are there real animals?
Yes. Live animals share the road through Bethlehem, a camel among them.
What ages is it for?
Every age. Children are very welcome, and many of the shepherds and angels you’ll meet are kids themselves.
Where do we park?
Parking may look different this year. We’ll post a parking map at journeythroughbethlehem.org/visit before opening night. Until then, email us with questions.
What if the time I want is full?
Try another time that evening, or another night.
