October 9 – October 11, 2026 · 11 events
This weekend in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania brings 11 live events across the city — from music. 3 events are explicitly listed as free. Here's what's on.
Bethlehem turned the carcass of Bethlehem Steel into one of the most striking arts campuses in America. SteelStacks, set directly beneath the rusted blast furnaces, hosts hundreds of concerts and festivals a year, including free summer programming at the Levitt Pavilion. Musikfest each August is the city's crown jewel — ten days, multiple stages, and one of the largest music festivals in the nation, most of it free. A casino event center across the campus books arena-level touring names. Come December, the city leans into its Moravian heritage as Christmas City USA, with Christkindlmarkt ranking among the country's best holiday markets.
6 events are listed for Sunday, including Steel Weekend 2026 at National Museum of Industrial History, EMBERS: The Final Years Of Bethlehem Steel Art by Michael Shemeley at National Museum of Industrial History, FREE Artist Talk with Emily Baker | Part of NMIH's Steel Weekend 2026 at ArtsQuest Center at SteelStacks, Oktoberfest – 10/11 at ArtsQuest Center at SteelStacks. Events that start earlier in the weekend may still be running Sunday; open an event for its current schedule.
