Our Team
We are small but mighty! The SouthSide Arts District management team works with the organization's volunteer-led committees to bring events, programming, and business resources to Bethlehem's Historic SouthSide Business District community.

Erin Zebertavage
Downtown Manager
Erin's career has allowed her to travel across the globe for technology companies in roles of project management, human resources, and talent acquisition. But, as a lifelong resident, her home always will be Bethlehem!
Erin is a lover of the arts, and she holds a special passion for live music. She currently serves as Vice Chair for the Levitt Pavilion SteelStacks, is a member of the Bethlehem Area Chamber Board, and is an active member on several committees within the Bethlehem community.
In her day to day, you will find Erin enjoying all the exciting concerts and live music festivals that Bethlehem has to offer. She is thrilled to contribute to the enhancement and revitalization of the SouthSide by supporting the community’s local arts, music, and small businesses.
