Musikfest releases limited
The truest of true Musikfest freaks can rejoice, because there’s yet another mug
The truest of true Musikfest freaks can rejoice, because there's yet another mug you can grab ahead of the Bethlehem music festival's 40th anniversary.
ArtsQuest is taking things all the way to 1984, honoring the very first Musikfest by selling a limited-edition mug based on the design of the first Musikfest liquid receptacle, which was actually a large pitcher that came with a cup much smaller than today's mug. When festival-goers ditched the cup and drank straight from the pitcher, Musikfest found the middle ground, resulting in an enduring symbol of the festival.
The mugs, which sell for $20, can be purchased in-person at the Musikfest box office or online under the "Merch" tab of the festival website, musikfest.org.
The throwback mug is available in addition to the official 2023 Musikfest mug, which went on sale in early May for a limited time. More of the 2023 mugs will be available closer to the festival too, but the mugs with the 1984 design are limited. So if you see someone walking around Musikfest in a few months drinking from the yellow and blue mug, congratulate them on their ambition and consider buying them a drink to put in it.
