We recently had the privilege of attending a “Brick Breaking Ceremony” for the currently under renovation Lehigh Valley Health Network, part of Jefferson Health Turn and Grind. While no bricks were actually broken, it was great to see the space cleared out and construction underway.
A HUGE thank you to all of our incredible volunteers who came out to support this year’s Sangriafest! Our volunteers helped serve 12 different sangrias to attendees, along with 4 additional sangrias available exclusively to VIP guests.
My name is Santos Martinez and I’m a 22-year-old from Bethlehem. I grew up with a big family with 3 siblings, and some of my favorite memories have always centered around the community and events that make Bethlehem special. One of the biggest parts of my life has been Musikfest! Ever since I was young, Musikfest has been a tradition for my family, bringing us together every August and creating memories that have stayed with me throughout my life.
At this year’s 10th anniversary ceremony, one of our own is being honored. We couldn’t be prouder of Ronda Senior, the 2026 Volunteer of the Year honoree. Please join us in congratulating Ronda on this monumental and well-deserved achievement.
Tom is the kind of volunteer you can always count on, no matter what the task. A longtime ArtsQuest Ambassador and member of our 1,000-hour volunteer club, Tom consistently goes above and beyond while always looking for ways to make the experience even better for his fellow volunteers.
The event brought together state and local officials, sponsors, donors and community partners to mark the next phase of construction for the historic Bethlehem Steel facility—once a critical part of the nation’s industrial and military production—into a multi-use arts and cultural venue.
