Directions/Parking
Let's go to Musikfest!
From public transportation to our off-site lots and shuttle service, you’ve got options on how to get to the ‘fest.
Plan Ahead
The festival takes place in the heart of Bethlehem’s two downtowns: The Historic Moravian District on the North side of the Lehigh River and the SouthSide Arts District to, you guessed it, the South.
You can walk between sides using the Fahy Bridge (it’s between 20-40 minutes for most) or utilize our free bus service, LANTA’s Gold Line. Either way, we recommend having a plan before you arrive!
Satellite Parking Lots and Shuttle
ArtsQuest operate two satellite parking lots that we recommend utilizing for the best festival experience. Round trip shuttle service is $9 per adult (13+) and $7 per child (ages 3-12) when accompanied by a fare paying adult. Children 2 and under ride free (must be able to sit on the lap of an adult). Shuttles provided by Trans-Bridge Lines, Inc.
To Arrive at the Colonial Industrial Quarter on the North Side:
• Valley Center Parkway – 1525 Valley Center Parkway, Bethlehem, PA 18017
