    Keeping Polka music alive.
    Warren R.

    MUSIKFEST IS DA BEST! Free music, tons of alcohol, good foods of all types everywhere, all set in my lovely city of Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. If you are somewhat outgoing like myself, you will meet some really cool people and bands and artiest of all types. The last day of the Fest there is a spectacular fire works display which is always a bitter sweet ending to me because although as spectacular as it is, the fire works show marks the end of Musikfest and kinda marks the end of the summer. :( Yelp please don't filter my review, can I at least get one review on the main page?

    Debauche! New Orleans cool for a 'Russian Mafia' style band!

    This 10-day marathon of musical talent is an impressive array of nonstop music scattered among the streets and in the park/ open spaces of Bethlehem. It is amazing that it is free, aside from the big headliners at one of the stages. They have several stages and hundreds of performers, so there is something interesting for everyone. The talent is overwhelming, and the crowd enthusiasm abounds to meet this musical display. You can park at satellite lots and take a $3 shuttle bus, or find parking somewhere downtown in a garage for $10 or on the street. Bring your MusikFest mug to refill with beer, as these mugs are staples among the attendees. Lines get longer for food and beverage as the day turns to night. The crowds get rowdier because the musical excitement just seems to amp up! Most venues are under tents with plastic seats and some tables. It's an incredibly user and family friendly set-up that is just impressive for a free event. Purchases for food and beverages require tickets- so be sure to get those before standing in line for anything. Plan your time, as there is no way to see everything you'd like with music happening at each venue all day and evening long- with the exception of set changes and sound checks as one performer wraps up and another rolls in. Beware of the food- it is not for the health conscious or dietary restricted folks. They have food like burgers, fish tacos, turkey legs, chicken fingers, Philly cheese steak, fried Oreos and sweets on a stick, fried green beans and pickles, fries, blooming onions, nachos, beef tacos, cheese quesadillas, chicken teriyaki noodles (there is a seemingly veg version but not vegan), southwestern corn on the cob (butter), cotton candy, kettle corn, ice cream, hot dogs, corn dogs and well... You get the picture! Seriously though- go for the music. You will not be disappointed in this slice of Americana on a 10-day musical plate.

    Needs a better beer selection and more German food... Musikfest now has two parts. Be sure to get over to the north side to check out the old blast furnaces. it's historical and should be experienced. You can access a commentary on your phone and listen as you observe. This was moving to me. As for the festival, crowded, hot and humid. Thought it would have more and a better selection of German food. If you like Yuengling beer you're in luck, they sponsor the event so you'll be hard pressed to find anything different.

    What a great place to hang out and hear great music. Especially when the prices are awesome. This is our first time and guarantee will not be the last. The ceiling is great no matter where you're at.

    Musikfest is the heart and soul of Bethlehem city since the Bethlehem Steel went down. I grew up in Bethlehem, and attended the past 7 Musikfests, even volunteering at one. We had international travelers every year. Bethlehem is packed during Musikfest, so there is no place to park for free. Park outside of town and take the trolley or be prepared to pay for parking. So much musical variety, there are different sections of the festival, each with a theme. If you have children, Banana Island is the place to take them. Different areas to suite all musical tastes, and the food is to die for. There's even one stand now that sells deep-fried cheesecake on a stick! Don't eat more than one, believe me. :)

    SteelStacks in Bethlehem absolutely surprised me in the best way…read more I'm used to the massive MusikFest setup, so rolling up to a smaller, all-grass stage felt totally different but honestly? It ended up being one of the most fun concert nights I've had in forever. I saw Set It Off, Zero 9:36, and Hollywood Undead... in the pouring rain... and it somehow made everything even better. The whole lawn has a gentle hill so you can see the stage from pretty much anywhere. Plus it's all general admission, which means you can wander, get closer, hang back by the buildings, sprawl out on the grass whatever fits your vibe in the moment. The acoustics were solid, the energy was wild, and we even got to meet a few of the Zero 9:36 guys afterward, which basically cemented the night as iconic. If you like flexible viewing, good sound, and concerts that turn into core memories because of the weather, the chaos, and the crowd SteelStacks is absolutely worth it.

    Everything said in the other 5 star reviews is true.... But this is a food review (not a beer…read morereview , plenty of beer and good music.) If you come hungry, leave hungry. The food is dreadful, cold fries, dry, cold smash burger with a pickle glued to the bun with what I hope was cheese. Thank god for the ketchup. It was the only thing that made the food eatable. The dessert option included Italian water ice, which were chemically infused cherry flavored frozen ice without wooden spoon, just bendie plastic spoons available in plastic wrapped knife, fork and spoon napkin sets leaving you to toss the unused utensils in the trash, for the $3.00 price of the water ice you can afford the 10 cent paper wrapped biodegradable wooden spoons!

    I am pretty obsessive when it comes to visiting a venue like this for the first time. And it was…read morealmost impossible to find good reviews so I thought I would share in case it helps somebody else. As far as parking, I had a lot of people helping me by telling me that street parking wasn't really hard to find, you just have to get there at a reasonable time if you want to be closer. We actually arrived later than I wanted to, maybe 20 minutes before the event and we still were pretty close. I kept reading about a giant hill that you had to walk up to get to the seats and I didn't understand until I got there. So if you park on a street near the "bottom" entrance of the stadium, when you enter, you climb a steep paved path to get to the higher rows of bleachers. If you're sitting in the first 15 bleachers starting from the field, though, you can simply just walk around the track from where you enter and walk up the steps. If you park in street parking that's at the "top" of the stadium (we chose to park on West Chew St between 22nd-20th) then when you enter and show your tickets, you're in a good position to walk down to the higher bleachers. I am the idiot who parked near the top of the stadium and had to walk 21 rows down (with a knee problem and no rail to hold onto) to our Section E, 9th row seats. The bathrooms are not as bad as I had read, they're near the top and bottom entrances and I didn't find them particularly difficult to get to either from the top of the stadium, or walking along the bottom of the track. We were there for the DCI event and there were also lots of portable bathrooms that were easy to use. I brought a stadium seat that had armrests on it and didn't have any problem using it, but I can see that if you are in a section that is completely packed out and you are in the middle of that section, it might get dicey because it's so crowded. I was on the aisle, and my son was sitting next to me so it was fine. I saw some other people using the same kind of chairs without problems, but again they were not in sections that were completely packed with people. But I will say that, even though our entire section was not packed out, there was a point at which there were people in front of me and behind me plus my son sitting next to me and I was still able to easily use the chair. I was told beforehand that those chairs were not allowed in the stadium, but when I got there, nobody was saying anything to anyone who had them. And speaking of sections, I think next time I will still choose seats in E (or K). They're right next to the premium center sections, but still close enough to center to be well placed and not nearly as crowded. However, I will pick higher row of bleachers (between 20-25) to get an even better view. Although where we sat was perfectly fine as well, and maybe the sound was better? All in all, we had a very positive experience , and look forward to returning.

This is basically where all the major arena shows that come to the area play. I would recommend dining before arriving, as the area surrounding the arena has more than enough options. Parking is now $20 but the lot has been fully paved. Security is nothing unusual and included metal detectors but is not overbearing. Everything in the interior is located in one central hallway, so you really can't get lost, but it gets crowded. Food options are somewhat basic but underwhelming. The pretzel I ordered was terrible as it was hard, over salted, and possibly stale. The Pepsi Zero was watered down. Generally, even the cheap seats here are not bad in terms of view. The seats are not the widest, but there's a decent amount of legroom. The sound system still leaves a lot to be desired depending on the show. Getting out of the parking lot can be challenging if traffic control is not on their game, so anticipate delays when leaving. Overall, with the other options for major arena shows being Allentown, Reading, or Hershey, the Mohegan Sun Arena At Casey Plaza is good enough and will get the job done if you need to attend an arena show.
