BETHLEHEM, Pa. – Tonight was the final night of the 16th annual ArtsQuest Oktoberfest, which is held yearly at Bethlehem\u2019s SteelStacks.<\/p>\n

The iconic Bethlehem event began in 2011 when ArtsQuest moved operations to the SteelStacks, event organizers say.<\/p>\n

This year\u2019s fest was a two-weekend event that began last Friday, October 2nd, and concluded on Saturday, October 10th.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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\u2019s website reads.<\/a><\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"BETHLEHEM, Pa. – Tonight was the final night of the 16th annual ArtsQuest Oktoberfest, which is held yearly…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":304163,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[14],"tags":[214,153,155,154,1391],"class_list":["post-304162","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-bethlehem","tag-_homepage_top_stories","tag-bethlehem","tag-bethlehem-headlines","tag-bethlehem-news","tag-bethlehem-area"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/304162","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=304162"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/304162\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/304163"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=304162"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=304162"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=304162"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
