Bethlehem, Lehigh Valley, PA., September 30, 2024 \u2013\u00a0The International Festivals & Events Association (IFEA)<\/a>\u00a0paid tribute to Musikfest\u2019s 40th<\/sup>\u00a0anniversary on Sunday, September 29 during the IFEA\/Haas & Wilkerson Pinnacle Awards Ceremony held at the IFEA Annual Convention & Expo presented by atVenu in Pittsburgh, PA. Sponsored by industry leader\u00a0Haas & Wilkerson Insurance<\/a>, the professional competition drew entries from some of the world\u2019s top festivals and events.<\/p>\n

ArtsQuest<\/a>\u00a0is excited to accept the IFEA Pinnacle Award for the Best Sponsor Partner Category with\u00a0D.G. Yuengling & Son, Inc<\/a>. This award highlights a specific sponsor of a festival\/event (Musikfest\u2019s 40th<\/sup>\u00a0Anniversary was submitted) that stands out above all others. ArtsQuest placed third in a category for which there were hundreds of submissions from event-based organizations worldwide.<\/p>\n

\u201cHere at ArtsQuest we place high importance in establishing mutually beneficial relationships. Our partnership with Yuengling for over 25 years has not only allowed us to expand to a national level but also to provide an unforgettable experience for our attendees with Yuengling\u2019s quality beers and nationally recognized branding,\u201d says Curt Mosel, ArtsQuest Chief Operating Officer. \u201cMusikfest would not be the event that it is without Yuengling\u2019s commitment to the Lehigh Valley and support of our mission to provide access to art, culture and educational programming for all.\u201d<\/p>\n

ArtsQuest\u2019s goal is to find a brand equally committed to our mission to provide access to art, culture and educational programming for the diverse residents of the Lehigh Valley and others who seek access in our community. The brand\u2019s longevity and family-oriented nature that Yuengling represents is a perfect fit for the community, Musikfest and ArtsQuest organization. Overall, the community can see that Yuengling cares about and supports this event and the Lehigh Valley, but most of all, we sell more beer because we sell Yuengling beer!<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are proud to be long time partners with ArtsQuest for over 25 years. Our teams have collaborated each year to bring the very best experience to festival goers,\u201d says Wendy Yuengling, D.G. Yuengling & Son\u2019s Chief Administrative Officer. \u201cThe ArtsQuest campus and the multi-day Musikfest events are pillars of how we connect locally in the community and with all who travel to the Lehigh Valley from many surrounding areas. Musikfest is something we highly anticipate each year, due in part to the variety of performers, food vendors and activities that make a wonderful environment to share our beers with attendees. We appreciate the ArtsQuest team and the collaboration across each element of our partnership that allows us to celebrate such fun activations throughout the year.\u201d<\/p>\n
