Steelworks at night.

Eerily Lit Steelworks Hulk

Favorite place spot in Bethlehem! During Christmas you can see the lights dance to music on the steel stacks.

Bethlehem Steel Mill

The Bethlehem Steel Mill was once one of the largest in the world. It was abandoned for many years until 2011. Now it has been turned into a public park where you can walk around and see the remaining historical mill buildings from the outside. The park doubles as an arts center and outdoor music venue. They have many different festivals there throughout the year such as Musik Fest and October Fest. In addition, the eastern section of the old steel mill has been turned into a casino.

Eerily Lit Steelworks Hulk

We stopped here after seeing a play in downtown Bethlehem, and the view at night is really spectacular. Well worth a stop if you're already in the area.
