Lovely Evenings in Bethlehem's Stunning Sculpture Garden
The Bethlehem Fine Arts Commission (BFAC) proudly presents the 2025 Sculpture Garden Concert Series, with free open-air musical performances every Friday evening in June.
This summer’s series reflects the rich cultural diversity of Bethlehem and of the greater Lehigh Valley, showcasing music from the best of regional and nationally known artists. Concerts take place in the City of Bethlehem’s lush and beautiful sculpture garden which is nestled in a shaded, art and flower-filled hollow on the east side of City Hall.
The Sculpture Garden was established in 1978 by the BFAC to display outdoor sculptures by regional artists. The sculptures are a part of the City’s permanent art collection. The garden, which is a designated Certified Wildlife Habitat, is planted and maintained by a team of BFAC volunteers led by a Master Gardener.
In this tranquil outdoor setting, audience members can gather to listen to great music, while enjoying a picnic supper with friends and family, dancing or clapping along.
