Mentioned we could see some severe weather tomorrow but tonight…. We got a little break and some outdoor events were able to take place as planned
With the smoke clearing over Bethlehem, Blast Furnace Blues: Stars Stripes And Steel is in full swing at SteelStacks.
“I love it. It’s great. It gets better every year,” says Francis Repash, Salisbury Twp.
“Yesterday was definitely an indoor day and today is an outdoor day,” says Dave Hochella, Allentown.
Thursday’s concert had to be moved indoors due to the poor air quality
“I was a little nervous,” says Tamie Swain, Coordinator, Summer Harvest Food Drive.
Tamie Swain, a coordinator with Summer Harvest Food Drive, is out at the festival collecting donations for local pantries.
She says she’s happy the weather held out.
“Wednesday night we had all the rain so we had to be inside and I couldn’t figure out how they would do that with this event so I’m really glad that it’s cleared up,” says Swain.
As concert goers enjoy the nice conditions Friday night, severe storms are looming Saturday.
Organizers say they’ll closely monitor the forecast, and make adjustments to events as needed.
“We’re always closely watching the weather and trying to do what’s best for our guests and our bands,” Cory Stevens, Executive Director, Levitt Pavilion SteelStacks.
