BETHLEHEM, PA — The Bethlehem Chamber of Commerce will host the 2026 State of the City Address with Mayor J. William Reynolds on Wednesday, April 8, 2026, at ArtsQuest’s Musikfest Café.

One of Bethlehem’s most anticipated annual events, the State of the City Address brings together more than 300 business, community and civic leaders to hear directly from Mayor J. William Reynolds on the city’s progress and priorities for the year ahead.

“Bethlehem’s story is America’s story.

William Reynolds.

“This event brings our business and community leaders together to reflect on Bethlehem’s progress and look ahead to the opportunities shaping our future, which is especially meaningful as we approach our nation’s 250th Anniversary,” said Tammy Wendling, Senior Vice President of Bethlehem Initiatives for the Greater Lehigh Valley Chamber of Commerce.
