The magic is back!

Simpsonwood’s 2025 Walk Through Bethlehem will come to life again on December 12-14 in Simpsonwood Park, 4511 Jones Bridge Circle in Peachtree Corners.

Visitors of all ages will be inspired by hundreds of luminaries that light the path leading to the interactive village and live nativity, including its retelling of the story of the birth of the Christ Child.

Since 1991, Simpsonwood United Methodist Church has brought “Bethlehem” to Peachtree Corners, so that others can experience the majesty of the Biblical story.

Admission is free and the Scout Troop will be receiving donations of canned goods for donation to Neighborhood Cooperative Ministries.
