The pandemic had a long tail for Pennsylvania’s music and sports venues, many of which found themselves closed into the latter half of 2021 before they could begin hosting events once again. 

Lititz-based music production community Rock Lititz is hosting its annual Rock Lititz Live Event Career Exploration Conference this week. 

One day after the Great Allentown Fair announced it would be returning for 2021, ArtsQuest has announced its plans to hold Musikfest in Bethlehem this summer.

Musikfest 2020 is going virtual. Rather than cancelling the annual event, like many summer festivals have, ArtsQuest said it will go forward with a mostly virtual program that could, pending pandemic regulation changes, include some live performances.

The 36th annual Musikfest doesn’t officially get underway until Friday at 5 p.m., but for those who can’t wait, the festival is having a preview night, tonight, featuring a main stage concert by the band Earth Wind and Fire.

Theresa Radtke, 52, has been active in television production for more than 10 years. She currently works for PBS 39 in Bethlehem, where she has a hand in many areas of programming and production.

Friday is the big night for Theresa Radtke and Radtke Media Productions, the production company she started to produce a new local television program, “Your Music & More.”
