Host your special event at the Banana Factory

The Banana Factory is located in the heart of Bethlehem’s SouthSide arts and cultural district. Fine international cuisine, live music, galleries, shopping and museums are only a short distance away for you and your guests.

This spacious, modern facility has three floors and can accommodate parties of up to 175. Allow our stunning, 2,800-square-foot Binney & Smith Gallery, with its skylight and large, open space, to host your luncheon, meeting, reception or dinner. The art center can assist you with all your arrangements, from caterers to entertainment.

The 63,000-square-foot Banana Factory also features facilities for smaller events. These include the first-floor Banko Family Community Room and the second-floor Risbon Conference Room. Or, if you prefer, you can enjoy the beauty of historic Bethlehem by hosting your function on one of our lovely brick-lined outdoor courtyards – the ideal way to enjoy a warm, summer evening. No matter how you choose to arrange your event, brilliant works of art and our talented artists creating in their studios serve as the perfect backdrop for the day.
