For BSI Corporate Benefits, supporting ArtsQuest has never been about putting a name on a building. It’s about investing in the people, places and relationships that make the Lehigh Valley a stronger community.
ArtsQuest, in partnership with Embassy Bank, will honor recently retired Northampton County Director of Emergency Management Services Todd K. Weaver with the 2026 ArtsQuest First Responder Valor Award during its annual Patriot Day commemoration on Friday, September 11.
For Joe and Corey Bergstein, a theater is about much more than what happens on stage. It’s a place where a child might see their first performance. Where an emerging artist might step in front of an audience for the first time. Where families laugh together, students discover something new and members of the community gather for an experience they won’t soon forget. Soon, those moments will have a new home inside the ArtsQuest Creative Factory powered by PPL.
The film series brings the magic of the movies indoors with monthly family-friendly screenings designed for audiences of all ages.
After 10 days (and a preview night) of music, comedy, food, art and community celebration, Musikfest 2026 wrapped another memorable year in Bethlehem.

From country, alternative rock, hip-hop, indie pop and soul to genre-blending artists, this year’s opening acts represent the diverse sounds that define Musikfest and embody the festival tradition of introducing audiences to artists they may discover for the very first time.
The announcement introduces the first nationally touring comedians who will perform on the ABARTA Coca-Cola Stage in the intimate, 150-seat theater, establishing ArtsQuest’s first centralized venue dedicated to comedy programming throughout the year.
This free, inclusive, alcohol-free space on the SouthSide of Musikfest offers guests a welcoming place to relax, enjoy food and mocktails purchased at the ‘Fest and take part in new interactive, creative and playful activities.
