🍀 Halfway to the Celtic Classic: Seeing Green in Downtown Bethlehem 🍀

A Wendy’s Eye Outing

You call it St. Patrick’s Day…
I call it Halfway to the Celtic Classic!
Either way, we’re celebrating by turning Historic Downtown Bethlehem green 📸💚

Bethlehem comes alive for the 15th Annual Celtic Classic Parade of Shamrocks, hosted by Celtic Cultural Alliance. This is a perfect chance to practice storytelling, movement, color, and crowd photography — all in a festive, high-energy setting.

📅 Event Details

Saturday, March 14, 2026
Meet Time: 12:00 PM ( early for positioning)
Location: 3rd and Broad Street Historic Downtown Bethlehem

The parade kicks off on Broad Street, travels east to Main Street, then heads south and ends under the iconic Hill-to-Hill Bridge.

📍 Best viewing & shooting area:
To capture the entire parade on Broad Street, choose a spot between 4th Avenue and Main Street.
(The parade is staged by divisions above 4th Avenue — great for behind-the-scenes moments!)

• Shooting in crowds without stress

• Color storytelling (hello, GREEN ☘️)
