BETHLEHEM, Pa. — Fans can now prepare to attend Musikfest, the nation’s largest free musical festival, by downloading the free Musikfest app. The popular app, powered by PNC, includes everything guests need to know to enjoy the festival’s hundreds of musical performances, dozens of food vendors/artisans and a wide variety of family activities.

Among the many features included in the app are musical performance schedules by date and venue, festival updates in real-time, a comprehensive interactive festival map, parking and general festival information and search options so patrons can look for their favorite music and vendors.

“This is PNC Bank’s 19th year as a Musikfest sponsor and we’ve grown and evolved our relationship with the terrific team of ArtsQuest to bring Musikfest to life in new ways,” said Pete Danchak, PNC regional president of Northeast Pennsylvania. “The Musikfest app has been a success since it debuted nearly 10 years ago. We continue to see this technology grow and assist guests in greater numbers by providing easy access to the information they need to learn about and enjoy the festival’s activities.”

The Musikfest app will be the best resource for this year’s attendees to keep up with what’s going on at the festival each day. There is a built-in GPS feature and app users will receive real-time information on performances taking place across the festival grounds.

“Downloading the free app will be more important this year, than ever before,” Kassie Hilgert, President and CEO of ArtsQuest said. “The last year and a half has taught us, we must be prepared to adapt plans at a moment’s notice. We are proud to offer this accessible and efficient mode of communication throughout the ‘fest. The app will be updated constantly in order to provide the best experience for all attendees.”

App users can create their own schedules and set alerts and notifications for their favorite performers’ start times. The app also includes Spotify playlists featuring music from artists playing during the ‘fest. Attendees can share the excitement with their friends by sending fun stickers with the keyboard for iOS users. The Musikfest app is available and can be downloaded from the Apple and Google Play app stores. For more information, visit musikfest.org.
