Musikfest 2025 is less than a month away, and once again ArtsQuest and LANTA are teaming up to provide a way to get around.
LANTA will offer free Gold Line service and free fares on Enhanced Bus Service Blue & Green lines for the festival, providing frequent, accessible and air-conditioned transportation options throughout the North and South sides of the 10-day festival that begins Aug. 1.
“After a successful first year of launching Musikfest-specific LANtaBus routes, we are thrilled for this partnership to continue, making Musikfest more accessible to everyone in the Lehigh Valley,” Bethlehem Mayor J. William Reynolds said in a news release. “To make our city more livable, we need to reduce car trips where we can, so it’s great to see that moving people more efficiently through our city so we can all better enjoy Musikfest is a shared goal of our community partners and we’re thankful for their dedication to making that happen.”
The Gold Line will serve as the free North-South connector, with stops including:
- Shuttleplatz North
- West Broad Street
- Downtown Bethlehem
- New & Walnut Streets
- PNC Stadtplatz (Payrow Plaza)
- Bethlehem City Hall
- Riverport
- SouthSide Station at Polk Street Garage
- Shuttleplatz South
It will operate 4 p.m. to midnight weekdays, and 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 a.m. weekends

Festivalgoers are encouraged to park at one of the Bethlehem Parking Authority garages — $15 all day at North Street, Polk Street and Riverport, and $5 at South New Street — and take the Musikfest shuttles from those destinations.
Remote parking lots are also available at Valley Center Parkway (North Side) or Penn State Lehigh Valley (South Side). Both are $9 per adult, $7 per child ages 3-12 and free for children 2 and under. Remote parking shuttles are operated by TransBridge.
