Musikfest Now Has an App

A new Musikfest app will provide performance schedules, an interactive festival map and festival updates in real time, festival organizer ArtsQuest has announced.

The Musikfest app for iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch will make its debut for the 2012 festival, ArtsQuest announced last week.

The app, which is now available from the Apple App Store, was developed through a partnership between Trifecta Technologies of Allentown and ArtsQuest, according to a news release from the nonprofit arts organization.

Among the many features included in the app are:

Find out what's happening in Hellertown-Lower Sauconwith free, real-time updates from Patch.

  • Musical performance schedules by date and venue
  • Biographies for more than 300 performers
  • Festival updates in real time
  • Search options so patrons can look for their favorite music and vendors
  • A comprehensive, interactive festival map
  • Parking and general festival information
  • Contests, promotions and discounts available only to app users

“Our patrons have been demanding that we have a Musikfest app,” ArtsQuest Vice President of Marketing and Public Relations Curt Mosel said through the release. “We didn’t want to create an app until we were confident we could have a really good product, and now we have a great one."

“We believe the features and functionality of this app will make it extremely easy for people to discover everything that’s going on at the festival, plus the app is great for sharing content,” he added.

By registering for the Musikfest app, users can highlight their favorite vendors and performers, and create personalized schedules they can share with other mobile app users. 

The app’s built-in GPS feature also provides walking distances between all Musikfest venues, as well as real-time information on performances taking place in the immediate area, no matter where a person is on the festival grounds.

“We're so glad that developing this app gave us the opportunity to partner with ArtsQuest. It's an honor to play a small part in the amazing festival they put on year after year,” said Doug Pelletier, president and founder of Trifecta Technologies.

“We're very excited about the new dimension the Musikfest app adds to the festival experience and we're confident that every attendee will find something that appeals to them,” he added.
