With blue skies overhead and a vibrant energy on the ground, Musikfest 2025 brought unprecedented crowds, unforgettable performances and an outpouring of community spirit and camaraderie that turned Bethlehem into the heart of a summer celebration!
The Linny Awards are presented to distinguished individuals from the region for their long-term commitment and dedication to the arts. Winners will be honored on October 23, 2025 at 5 p.m. in the Musikfest Café
ArtsQuest officially broke ground today on the ArtsQuest Creative Factory powered by PPL, a transformative $32 million visual, performing and educational arts center. The new facility, located on the site of the former Banana Factory, will be a gateway to Bethlehem’s SouthSide and will dramatically expand access to arts programming for all ages, serving as a hub of creativity, equity and community engagement across the Lehigh Valley.
A health insurance company and an arts nonprofit might seem like an unlikely pairing at first glance. But for Capital Blue Cross, supporting ArtsQuest fits seamlessly into its mission to promote public health and wellness.
The new ArtsQuest Creative Factory powered by PPL will include many unique spaces destined for community growth and development through the arts. One of those spaces will include a new Volunteer Center, a place where volunteers can meet, train and network with each other.
