Musikfest
July 31 - August 10
Welcome to the largest FREE music festival in the nation! This summer we are celebrating 42 years of Musikfest, brought to you by ArtsQuest, a non-profit organization dedicated to providing access to the arts for all through programming (including Musikfest) with over 50% free to the public.
If you’re a ‘fest newbie, you may be wondering what all the fuss is about. For starters, Musikfest is 10 days (with an added preview night) of great live music on 16 different free stages throughout Bethlehem’s Historic District on the North Side and the SteelStacks campus on the SouthSide. Ticketed headliner acts perform on the Wind Creek Steel Stage. From opening note to the closing act, there are more than 500 FREE performances that will take place in the city’s streets, parks, plazas and historic areas.
If that’s not exciting enough, our festival also features:
- 49 vendors offering a variety of great eats
- 11 nights of headline shows at our Wind Creek Steel Stage at PNC Plaza
- Dozens of the Nation’s finest artisans
- Children’s and family activities galore
- A fabulous fireworks display on Sunday, August 10th
- AND MUCH MORE!
If you enjoy music as much as we do, you will love enjoying your first Musikfest and celebrating 42 years with us. From Bach to bluegrass and rock to reggae, we are positive you can find something that appeals to your musical tastes!
