Aw Shucks, Bethlehem Dairy Store, Take A Taco and More On-site July 31-Aug. 9

BETHLEHEM, PA—Let the taste of delectably fresh burgers on flakey buns, mouth-watering corn-on-the-cob and belly-busting Belgian waffles with deliciously sweet ice cream take you away to that Musikfest vibe nearly one million people enjoy each year.

As part of Musikfest 2020, ArtsQuest is pleased to present 10 of the festival’s most beloved vendors for Musikfest-lovers to enjoy at SteelStacks July 31-Aug. 9. Hours for the walkup food service at PNC Plaza are July 31 and Aug. 3-7 from 4-8 p.m., and Aug. 1-2 and 8-9 from noon-8 p.m. Highlighting the list of ’fest favorites are Aw Shucks roasted corn and the shish kabobs of Hogar Crea, both of whom are making their only area appearances of the summer.

“We are thrilled to be able to offer this taste of Musikfest this year for our patrons, as well as to support these small businesses and independent vendors, many of whom have been hit pretty hard by the pandemic-related closures,” says ArtsQuest Sr. Vice President of Operations Ray Neeb. “As we were developing plans for a revamped Musikfest 2020, this is the first ‘in-person’ element we started to work on because we know how much people enjoy the wide variety of eats at the festival. We thank all of the vendors, some of whom are setting up just for this event, for coming together to make this experience possible for everyone.”

During Musikfest 2020, patrons can walk up and order from any or all of the 10 vendors. Onsite beverages, as well as Musikfest merchandise like the popular collector’s mug, will also be offered. The complete list of vendors and their menus are:
