BETHLEHEM, Pa. (WPVI) — At least one million people from all walks of life are expected to attend this year’s Musikfest <\/a>in Bethlehem.<\/p>\n

Patrick Brogan, chief programming officer, said 450 bands representing all genres will perform across 15 stages.<\/p>\n

Most performances are free, with the exception of headliners on the main stage – including Darius Rucker, Nelly, Third Eye Blind and The Black Keys.<\/p>\n

In addition to the music, visitors can enjoy a wide variety of food and explore unique art installations.<\/p>\n

Brogan said he hopes everyone enjoys all that Musikfest has to offer during its 42nd year.<\/p>\n

“In addition to meeting with great friends and discovering a new favorite artist, Musikfest builds community,” he said. “The same show is on the stage in front of all of us, and we’re able to share that common experience together – creating bridges and building the community in a way that nothing can do like live music.”<\/p>\n

Country artist Riley Green took the main stage Friday night. Ahead of the concert, the nonprofit Flag Bros handed out 2,500 flags to support veterans and active-duty military members.<\/p>\n

“We’re thinking about what they’re doing on a daily basis and also our veterans who have helped to build our country and give us our freedom,” said Adam Drake with Flag Bros.<\/p>\n

Musikfest organizers say there’s still plenty to see and do, with nine days of festivities remaining.<\/p>\n

For those looking for a safe, alcohol-free space, a new addition this year is Sober Platz, hosted by Sync Recovery Community.<\/p>\n

“I know a lot of people who wouldn’t come to Musikfest just because they didn’t feel like it was a safe space, so it’s nice to have this spot, and I’m most excited about having the community see that life isn’t over when we’re sober. That we can have a great time showing up authentically,” said Laura Waits, Sync Recovery’s community executive director.<\/p>\n
