I wanted to inform all my readers of a great music festival that takes place every summer in Bethlehem, PA called Musikfest. Drawing over 1 million people each year, it is the biggest and best Music Festival I've ever been to and I've been to many all over the country.
From the "about" page on the Musikfest website:
In 1984, nearly 182,000 people attended a small, grass-roots music festival in Bethlehem, Pa. featuring 118 performers and 295 performances on six stages. At the time, no one knew how large the event would grow or how long it would last.
Amazingly, more than two decades have passed since that first Musikfest. And from those humble beginnings, the event has blossomed into a 10-day musical spectacular that attracts more than one million people from throughout the country.
The festival, which showcases nearly every musical style imaginable, features:
- More than 300 performers from across the country and around the globe.
- Musical programming at 14 different indoor and outdoor stages (11 stages are free).
- 10 great nights of headline entertainment.
- Mouth-watering foods, plenty of children's fun and activities and a spectacular closing-night fireworks display.
As a tribute to Bethlehem's Germanic heritage, Most of Musikfest's sites have german 'platz' names- the word 'platz' is German for "place."

This year my husband and I are going to attend the Festival and see David Cook, last years American Idol winner who we love. If you have any free time and want to check out some great music, foods and fun be sure to visit Musikfest! Maybe we'll see ya there!
