The Lehigh Valley Health Network and the non-profit ArtsQuest announced they will turn the former Bethlehem Steel Turn & Grind Shop into a festival center by 2027 and use it to hold big events.

This change will help ArtsQuest expand its existing programs such as Musikfest and Oktoberfest.

The Lehigh Valley Health Network has always played a role in the mission of easy access to the arts and changing the steel plant to a festival will greatly help them achieve this goal.
