Peepsfest returns to Bethlehem, Pennsylvania’s SteelStacks Dec. 30-31 with family activities and the 400-pound illuminated Peeps Chick Drop.
This year’s festival spotlights the collaboration between Just Born Quality Confections and ArtsQuest, with event gates opening at 2:45 p.m. and activities running from 3-6 p.m. each day. The celebration builds toward the illuminated Peeps Chick Drop at 5:35 p.m., immediately followed by an early-evening fireworks display.
