Welcome to the 4th Annual Lehigh Valley Jazz and Arts Festival! Join us at the Ice House at 56 River St, Bethlehem, PA on July 18, 2026 at 12:30 PM for a day filled with amazing music and beautiful art.

Featuring the Nancy and Spencer Reed Trio, Stank Factory, Art Bailey Quintet, Fusion Jazz Trio, and a variety of talented student performers.
