Celebrate the true meaning of Christmas at the 10th Annual Drive-Thru Nativity, hosted by First Assembly of God-Lighthouse Ministries. This free, family-friendly event will take place on December 6, 7, and 8, 2024, at 3401 W. 7th Street in Texarkana, Texas.
The Drive-Thru Nativity offers a unique opportunity to experience the birth and resurrection of Jesus in an immersive, interactive way—all from the comfort of your vehicle. Over 100 volunteers will be dressed in biblical costumes, with live animals including camels, sheep, cows, mules, and goats, bringing the scenes of Jesus’ life and ministry to life.
Upon entering the grounds, visitors will be greeted with hot chocolate and candy canes for the little ones. Each car will take part in a fun and symbolic “census,” passing a gold coin to Roman soldiers to gain entry into the City of Bethlehem. As you drive through the Bethlehem Marketplace, you will feel as if you have stepped back in time, experiencing the sights and sounds of the ancient world.
The journey culminates in an awe-inspiring scene of the birth of Jesus, offering a powerful reminder of the true reason for the holiday season.
“This event is a wonderful way to reflect on the meaning of Christmas and share the story of Jesus’ birth with friends and family,” said the event organizers. “We are excited to bring this tradition to our community for the 10th year, offering a free experience filled with joy and inspiration.”
In addition to the nativity scenes and live animals, the event will feature plenty of fun goodies for children, making it a perfect outing for families of all ages.
The Drive-Thru Nativity is free and open to the public on December 6, 7, and 8. For more information and to stay updated on the event, follow their Facebook page.
