BETHLEHEM, Pa. – If nostalgia is your jam, ArtsQuest has something special for you this summer — a limited-edition Musikfest mug.

To celebrate the 40th anniversary of the ‘Fest, the mug pays homage to the original pitcher first sold in 1984. It’s available online now, or at the ArtsQuest Center or the Bethlehem Visitors Center.

  • ArtsQuest is selling a vintage mug to celebrate the 40th anniversary of Musikfest
  • The mug pays tribute to the pitcher first sold in 1984
  • The drinking vessels are limited-edition and only available for a limited time

Each mug will sell for $20 – and when they’re gone, they’re gone.

In addition to the throwback mug, the festival will also offer a light-up version of the drinking vessel , along with a classic mug, meaning three mugs will be sold this year at the annual summer festival.

The artwork on the mugs was created by Maltas Con Leche, a family of artists from Allentown who also created the official Musikfest poster.

The cost is $12 for the classic mug (pictured, with the orange lid) and $15 for the light-up version (pictured, with the glitter and blue lid).

Musikfest again will extend its run to 11 days this year, with indie-pop trio AJR's headline concert kicking things off on preview night Thursday, Aug 3.

The festival runs until Aug. 12. Other headline acts include Rapper G-Eazy on Aug. 5; Grammy Award-winning country music duo Dan + Shay on Aug. 6; country singer Walker Hayes on Aug. 7; R&B singers Keith Sweat and Monica on Aug. 8; alt-rockers Goo Goo Dolls and O.A.R. on Aug. 9; comedian Gabriel Iglesias on Aug. 10; Maren Morris on Aug. 12; and Grammy Award-winning soft rock group Train on closing night Aug. 13.
