4th Annual Downtown Allentown Beer Fest…read more Free entrance with kids and dogs welcome. $34 ticketed price to participate in the beer fest. Comes with a 3oz Mason jar style tasting glass. 2 blocks closed off for the event with vendor tenys on either side of the road. Well organized check-in on one end at 640 Hamilton St right across from the PPL center. Four booths selling food. For a festival the prices were reasonable too. We enjoyed Buffalo style pulled pork nachos which were a good sized portion from Bell Hall for $5. More than worth it! There was also a Axe Throwing area. Two lanes set up at $10 for 10 minutes they always had people present. My first time going to the event and I'll definitely be back next year.

Always a great time to walk around and get some staples- island noodles, aw shucks, etc. Great vibe!read more

My most favorite festival of the Lehigh Valley! There's something for everyone. Food,…read moreentertainment, music, and just a great vibe! It's vast so one day doesn't cut it for me. I need one day for the North Side and one day for the South Side. It's great! The volunteers are always willing to help as are the paid staff. I love the merch. A little pricey but so Musikfest centered so you absolutely need something!

Festivals are supposed to be fun -- a break from routine, a chance to enjoy good food, music, and…read moreatmosphere. Unfortunately, this one is none of that. Each year it somehow manages to get worse instead of better. Who wants to spend their weekend at an Oktoberfest crammed into a parking lot, waiting in endless lines for overpriced food and drinks? The music barely plays long enough to create any real vibe, and the organizers seem more interested in signaling how "woke" they are with random gimmicks like a drag contest than delivering an authentic festival experience. This event has become a chaotic, uninspired mess -- and one I won't be returning to anytime soon.

The rating is due to the size. I felt like the festival could have been larger and honestly I…read moreexpected it to be larger. Although smaller than I thought there were still some great booths. We stopped at a great hot sauce booth (I know festivals always have them, but this one was great). They did a Weiner dog race and Stein holding completions (children and adults). I had a buttery, salted pretzel and oh.my.god (in Janice's voice) it was so amazing! Just expect the festival to be smaller.

(This was for the show last month with Everclear. As most people do, I'm going to mix two things…read moretogether here. Partially mumbling about the show and partially mumbling about the venue/experience.) A few things worth noting: I had been here once prior for a seated show but never for a GA one. I'm not really an Everclear fan. Nothing wrong with the music, it just never caught my ear. My daughter is a huge fan so this was totally for her. Part of the GA issue was a non-issue as I forked out for the meet & great package so we were guaranteed to be on the rail as close as you could be. Everything in the email from the 3rd party company that handles the meet & greet stuff was all spot on: Show up at time X. Buy merch if you want before you are let in. You are let in at time X. You are given bag of swag. Band plays a single acoustic song. You line up the 1st time and the band will sign whatever and briefly talk to you about whatever you want. Art loved that I wasn't bringing the kid and that it was more that the kid brought me. You line up the 2nd time for pix with the blast furnaces in the background. This was well all executed. At time Y, the rest of crowd is let in and then you wait an hour until it's time to start except it wasn't really time to start as there was an opening act that no one seemed to know about. The show was the show. When you're that close, the sound is hard to judge. To me, it's all a sludgy mess musically although Art's vocals were, all things considered, excellent. At the end of the show the band came down to the rail and they were talking/selfie taking with everyone there. Art was beyond generous and gave my kid his setlist and a pick. Overall this was good. The staff got everyone in and out easily. Parking was a non-issue as we got there early and parked strategically to get out quickly. Art and the guys are pros-pros who know what they are doing. Another show here? Yep. Why not.

A great venue for a show…read more The seats have a reasonable amount of space. The view of the old steel foundry is memorable, particularly at night. There is a large parking area nearby. There is a $10 minimum per person. The food is adequate and the service is attentive. The pierogis are baked, but the onions served with them are good.

I recently attended Touchstone Theatre's annual Festival Unbound featuring dance, music, walking…read moretours and socially engaged artistic experiences throughout Bethlehem. What an absolute treat! The events were all unique and extremely well produced. The opening ceremony was held at City Hall and was a wonderful sample of local artists supported by the town mayor. At Ice House I got to experience a new play about affordable housing called "Most Beautiful Home Maybe" which was interactive and very thought provoking. At National Sokols I saw a theatrical wrestling match from LVAC and rock show paired with delicious food from Jenny's Kuali catering (unbelievably delicious!) There were fun pop up story collecting booths throughout the town. Some of my friends attended, and raved about, the historic and artistic walking tours and really got to know the neighborhoods and history. Touchstone itself is also an amazing venue and ensemble theatre company and I look forward to catching a show soon! Congrats to Mary Wright, the Director of Education for curating and directing such a meaningful and impactful festival. Wow!! Absolutely epic experience - I wish every town would invest in community in this way. Outstanding!!

I'm not sure we would have read it all even if we got there at opening! Thank goodness for the curator!

It's really more of a 3 star place because it is so tiny - but i am giving it 4 stars as i would like to see more people know about it. If you live in the ABE area and have not been here - please go. It's inexpensive (it was free in the late '80's) anda good, easy, painless way to learn more about the Native Americans in our area. If you have kids and live near here go during the spring, and feed some fish (at the hatchery) and learn a little about out great land and native people.
