Getting there
Nearest airport ABE.
How do I get to Musikfest?
By car
Most people drive to Musikfest. The nearest major airport is ABE, and from there it is a straightforward drive to the venue. Check current road and traffic conditions before you set off, and see parking below.
By train
No direct passenger rail to the venue was found. Drive, fly in, or use a shuttle instead.
By bus & public transit
Once in Bethlehem, Musikfest itself runs a dedicated, officially-expanded shuttle system for 2026 (ArtsQuest + LANTA + Bethlehem Parking Authority + City of Bethlehem partnership): the year-round Blue and Green EBS lines connect Downtown Bethlehem, Southside Station, Riverport and Allentown-area stops, plus a festival-specific Gold Line north-south connector (Shuttleplatz North/South, PNC Stadtplatz, City Hall, Riverport, SouthSide Station) with expanded weekend-afternoon service
Book / info →Festival shuttle
Official 2026 satellite lots with free parking: 1525 Valley Center Parkway, Bethlehem (feeds North Side via shuttle) and Penn State Lehigh Valley, 2809 Saucon Valley Rd, Center Valley (feeds South Side via shuttle). This is the recommended access mode for anyone driving in rather than flying, and pairs naturally with a rental car from ABE
Book / info →Taxi & rideshare
Note Musikfest's own festival grounds are pedestrianized/downtown, so rideshare drop-off for the festival itself is at a nearby street, not inside the grounds
Book / info →Taxis and rideshare such as Uber and Lyft can be limited near the venue, especially late at night or in rural areas. Agree a pickup point and time in advance and keep a backup plan.
🅿 Parking
No on site parking. Use nearby lots or transit. Cost Satellite lot parking is free (shuttle ride itself is $10/$8, see above). Prepay via Bethlehem Parking Authority garages (downtown) or free satellite park-and-ride lots feeding the LANTA shuttle. Musikfest is a pedestrianized downtown/riverfront festival with no dedicated on-site lot, official guidance funnels attendees to either downtown BPA garages (ADA accessible, per LANTA's EBS page) or the free satellite park-and-ride lots feeding the shuttle system described above
🚙 Car hire
Compare car hire at ABE
Not the primary access mode for the festival grounds themselves (downtown/pedestrianized, well served by the official shuttle system), but useful for fly-in attendees planning to use one of the free satellite park-and-ride lots or to combine the trip with wider Lehigh Valley/Poconos travel

Camping & Accommodation
Where can I stay near Musikfest?
No on site camping. Here is where to stay nearby.
Hotels nearby 3
Airbnb & private camping
Musikfest is an 11-day, 1M+-attendance downtown festival, this is exactly the profile where Airbnb surge pricing is well documented industry-wide for host-city listings during the festival window
Search Airbnb →Downtown/urban festival with no campground-style alternative nearby that fits Hipcamp's private-land camping model, this tier is a weak fit for Musikfest specifically; general Lehigh Valley-area Hipcamp inventory is rural/exurban, not a realistic festival-adjacent option
