The event will continue an ArtsQuest tradition since 2014, broadcasting every match live via FOX Sports on large screens across SteelStacks for an immersive viewing experience for thousands of fans of all ages. But with the eyes of the world on the U.S. for the FIFA World Cup 26™, this year’s SoccerFest is bigger, bolder and unique to Bethlehem, whose roots in American soccer date to the early 20th century.

Celebrate America’s 250th at the former Bethlehem Steel site, where the sounds of one of America’s foundational music genres echo beneath the historical blast furnaces. Feel the rhythm with electrifying sets from the Larry McCray Band, toe-tapping tunes in the style of Delta, Piedmont, Texas and Gospel Blues by Jontavious Willis, fiery blues-rock vocalist Dana Fuchs and Ireland’s rising blues star Grainne Duffy and many more, including Lehigh Valley’s own The BC Combo.

All proceeds directly support Levitt Pavilion’s mission to provide over 45 free concerts each summer for the Lehigh Valley community.  

Following a successful inaugural year, the free, family-friendly concert series returns to the historic Union Terrace Amphitheater with an expanded and diverse lineup designed to bring the community together through live music, culture and shared experiences in the heart of Allentown.

ArtsQuest is thrilled to announce that the One Earth Reggae Festival, presented in partnership with Movement Moves Media, returns for a 5th year on Saturday, July 11, 2026. The event starts at 12 p.m. and has performances across three different stages (Levitt Pavilion SteelStacks presented by Lehigh Valley Health Network, part of Jefferson Health, the Highmark Blue Shield Community Stage on the Air Products Town Square and Williams Brew Stage) until 1:30 a.m.

Since 1997, San Francisco’s Third Eye Blind have recorded ten best-selling studio recordings, two live releases and assembled one career retrospective selling 12 million records worldwide. Led by Stephan Jenkins, Third Eye Blind won wide success during a tumultuous group of years when the major-label recording industry was finally losing its grip on an enterprise that for decades it had dominated with steely efficiency. Nothing could have made Third Eye Blind happier!

From refreshing sangrias and bold margaritas to craft spirits and global flavors, this trio of culinary and beverage celebrations delivers three can’t-miss weekends of food, drinks, music and community in the heart of Bethlehem. 

ArtsQuest’s Summer Art Camps at Moravian University return in 2026 from June 10 to July 24 and offer seven weeks of fun and engaging art-making classes and activities for children in grades K-12.
