The event with its street vendors, sidewalk sales, and specialty foods takes place along Main Street and Broad Street in Historic Downtown Bethlehem. This year, the event footprint will feature more of Broad Street, which includes a new entertainment stage. Wendling said, \u201cThis will allow plenty of room for people to distance.\u201d<\/p>\n Last year, the pandemic forced event organizers to cancel Harvest Fest for the first time since its inception in 2006. Downtown business owners are counting on a good turnout for the event this year to make up for last year\u2019s losses.<\/p>\n More Music Than Ever & A Brand New Stage<\/p>\n With three entertainment stages, music will fill every pocket of the downtown area all day. Guests will enjoy the new Broad Street stage with outdoor seating, the Biergarten Stage near the historic Smithy, and the ever-popular Main Street Stage.<\/p>\n Harvest Fest Music Lineup<\/strong><\/p>\n Biergarten Stage<\/p>\n 11:00AM – Pentley Holmes<\/p>\n 1:20PM – Zaire<\/p>\n 3:40PM – Cunningham & Associates<\/p>\n 6:00PM\u00a0– Scott Marshall Band<\/p>\n Main Street Stage<\/strong><\/p>\n 11:00AM – Kyle Yankowy<\/p>\n 1:30PM – Melody Cruz<\/p>\n 3:00PM – Paul Knack<\/p>\n Broad Street Stage\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n 11:00AM – Ginger and the Schnappes<\/p>\n 1:30PM – Tim Harakal<\/p>\n 3:00PM – Seth Witcher<\/p>\n Tasting Trails<\/strong><\/p>\n Harvest Fest features three different tasting trails: a Wine Trail, a Soup Trail, and a Beer Trail. To ensure appropriate social distancing, trail passes will be strictly limited and sign in times will be staggered. There are 350 passports available for the Soup Trail, 350 for the Wine Trail and 600 for the Beer Trail. Individual sampling cups and hand sanitizer will be available at each location. You can order your passports at\u00a0GetDowntownBethlehem.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n Scarecrow Showdown<\/strong><\/p>\n A parade of creative handmade scarecrows will decorate the downtown as part of the second annual Scarecrow Showdown. This is an event that the DBA created in 2020 as more people looked for outdoor family activities. Participants decorate scarecrows and Harvest Fest visitors vote for their favorites. If you\u2019re interested in creating a scarecrow for the display, you can purchase your\u00a0kit online<\/a>. \u201cFrom silly to spooky, it\u2019s so much fun to see the creative ideas participants come up with,\u201d said Wendling.<\/p>\n About the Downtown Bethlehem Association:\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>The Downtown Bethlehem Association (DBA) is a council of The Greater Lehigh Valley Chamber of Commerce and serves to revitalize, rehabilitate, promote and advance downtown business areas within the city of Bethlehem.
