BETHLEHEM, Pa. – Tonight was the final night of the 16th annual ArtsQuest Oktoberfest, which is held yearly at Bethlehem’s SteelStacks.
The iconic Bethlehem event began in 2011 when ArtsQuest moved operations to the SteelStacks, event organizers say.
This year’s fest was a two-weekend event that began last Friday, October 2nd, and concluded on Saturday, October 10th.
Due to the forecasted rain from Hurricane Isaias and out of an abundance of caution, organizers cancelled all Sunday events, meaning the event concluded Saturday.
Oktoberfest, which is presented by Lehigh Valley International Airport, is a free festival that features brews, food, live music, local artisans, and various activities, the event’s website reads.
The last day of the festival was full of music, the steinholding championship finals, dragtoberfest, a pup parade, a flip cup tournament, and several Wiener dog races.
