A Living Nativity

Step into the story of the first Christmas at this free, family-friendly event celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ!

Luke 2:11: For there is born to you this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.

Calvary Chapel of Chapel Hill invites the community to experience the wonder of the first Christmas at a Living Nativity on December 11–12 at Blackwood Farm Park in Chapel Hill.

Guests will be guided by shepherds through a journey along an illuminated walking trail featuring artistic displays that bring the night of our Savior’s birth to life. As you make your way along the path, you’ll encounter beautiful scenes depicting the biblical story of that first Christmas, culminating in a present-day Christmas show featuring beloved carols. The stage show will run every 30 minutes with show times at 6:30, 7, 7:30, and 8pm.

More than a performance, this immersive Christmas experience invites guests to slow down, take in the sights and sounds of the Nativity, and reflect on the true meaning of Christmas: God’s gift to the world through His Son, Jesus Christ.

Whether you’re looking for a meaningful family outing, a special Christmas tradition, or an opportunity to celebrate the reason for the season, this event offers a unique way to experience the story of the Savior’s birth. Bring your family and friends and join us for an evening filled with the wonder, hope, and joy of Christmas!
