The Fest is Here!!

{source}

Today is the day! The day one of the best music festivals in PA and maybe some parts of the states begins.

So what is the Musikfest?

Musikfest is a one week event where the locals and OOTowners get to enjoy some great music of many genres, great food and of course Beer!

Essentially they shut down a section of Bethlehem (my hometown) to dedicate to the million + people the attend the week long event. During the day, they have crafts and other goodies for the children but in the evening it is more of an adult's world.

Here are some of the headliners this year:

  • The Commodores - Friday, July 31
  • Chris Isaak / The Wallflowers - Saturday, August 1
  • Yes with special guest Asia - Sunday, August 2
  • David Cook - Monday, August 3
  • Third Eye Blind - Tuesday, August 4
  • The B52s / Joan Jett & The Blackhearts - Wednesday, August 5
  • Pat Benatar & Blondie with the Donnas - Friday, August 7

... and many more.

Those were just the headliners that you have to purchase tickets for. There are many, many more artists who perform for free at many of the platz locations around the fest.

So if you have some time this week and are a drive away from Bethlehem, PA, come on out and experience what it means to "fest".

Have a great weekend everyone!!

I am off to get our marriage license =)
