🌶️ Come for the Chili. Give for a Cause. ❤️

ChiliFest is almost here, and the Bethlehem Parking Authority is helping make it even easier to come downtown, enjoy the day, and give back to our community!

FREE PARKING makes getting to ChiliFest easy, and while you’re heading downtown, we’re asking you to bring along a nonperishable food item to support the Hispanic Center Lehigh Valley’s food drive.

It’s a pretty simple deal: We’ll take care of the parking. You bring a little something to help a local family in need.

Then grab some chili, explore downtown, support our local businesses, and enjoy everything ChiliFest has to offer!

🌶️ Come for the Chili. Give for a Cause.

🍻 Prost from the BPA!

Last night, some of the BPA crew traded parking garages for b**r taps and volunteered at Oktoberfest at ArtsQuest!

We had a blast pouring libations, raising a few steins and helping keep the Oktoberfest spirit flowing.

Great drinks, great people and a great night in Bethlehem. Prost! 🍻
