History
Musikfest 1984 drew somewhere in the vicinity of 182,000 people to Bethlehem's downtown area, and it featured 295 performances across 6 different stages! More than 25 years later, Musikfest annually attracts more than one million people who visit Bethlehem to experience the festival. Musikfest now showcases more than 500 performances on more than 10 indoor and outdoor stages. Our main stage does require a ticket, but the rest of the 'fest is free for all to enjoy and to this day remains one of (if not THE) nation's largest non-gated music festivals.
