History
Leigh Valley Yoga Festival, Vegfest, Bethlehem Vegfest, SouthSide Bethlehem Greenway in Bethlehem, #BethlehemVegfest, #GetDowntownBethlehem. In its 6th year, Lehigh Valley Yoga Festival is the most anticipated, one of a kind, yoga and mindfulness event in the valley. Being the only health and wellness event of its kind in our area, it now attracts more than 300 participants from our region and beyond: Philadelphia, New York, New Jersey, and more. And its original mission has not changed. It has been enriched and bolstered by the cause it supports – providing Yoga & Mindfulness Classes to children and adults in the Lehigh Valley who might not otherwise have access. With its primary intention being community-building, the all-day event presents a one-of-a-kind opportunity to enjoy various styles of yoga, meditation, music and healing through classes, workshops, presentations, and performances. Not only is the event a day of summer fun for adults and children alike, ALL the proceeds from the yoga festival go toward providing healing to at-risk populations through trauma-informed Yoga & Mindfulness Classes. #MindfulnessMatters

Just as we humans evolve and learn from our experiences and practices, The Lehigh Valley Yoga Festival has grown and evolved in the last six years. What we practice, gets stronger. We (the organizers of the Festival) are grateful for the opportunity to grow and evolve with LVYF. We are excited to share this more mature version of our original vision with our supporters. Stay tuned for updates as we weave this day together for you. Stay connected through Website, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter. We are also available via telephone: 610-443-0159

FAQ

 I’ve never done yoga but would like to. Are there beginner-friendly classes?
Yes!! This year, we have added a greater focus on classes and workshops that are beginner-friendly, suitable for those with illness, injury, or other physical limitations – such as chair yoga, gentle yoga, yoga for cancer, and more.

 Do I need to bring my own mat?
Many people find that they prefer to bring their own mat; however, we do have a limited number of mats that you can use, free of charge. We suggest getting to the Festival early to secure a mat.

 What should I wear?
Wear something comfortable and suitable for warm weather. Most classes, workshops, performances, and presentations are held indoors; however, July can bring higher temperatures, so lightweight clothing is suggested.

 Can I bring my own food and beverages?
While we have delicious food and beverage vendors with vegetarian, non-vegetarian, and organic options, you are certainly welcome to bring your own.

 Am I allowed to bring alcohol?
No, alcohol and drugs are not permitted at this event. Individuals that appear to be intoxicated or under the influence will be asked to leave.

 Are there restaurants nearby if I prefer to dine elsewhere?
Bethlehem has so many great places to eat that it would be impossible to list them all! Here are a few suggestions:
>> Thai Thai 2
>> Vegan Treats
>> Jumbars
>> Apollo Grill
>> Wise Bean
>> Nicks Pizza Restaurant
>> Wegmans

 I’m traveling from out-of-town, can you suggest local accommodations?
While this list is not comprehensive, here are a few hotel options:
>> Hotel Bethlehem
>> Lehigh Valley Hotel
>> Hampton Inn
>> Hyatt

 Are there restrooms near the various areas where classes will be held?
There are restrooms conveniently located on every floor of the buildings, including Handicap Accessible. Additionally, there are women’s, men’s, and gender-neutral restrooms.

 I have a physical disability – is the event Handicap Accessible?
In addition to nearby, Handicap Accessible parking, each building has Handicap Accessible entrances and restrooms. There are also elevators in the buildings.

 Are pets allowed?
Pets are allowed in outdoor areas on and around the Moravian College campus, but not indoors. There is, however, the exception that service dogs are allowed in all areas – indoors and outside.

 Is the event indoors or outside?
Most classes, workshops, performances, and presentations are held indoors; however, July can bring higher temperatures, so lightweight clothing is suggested. We’ve added Children’s Yoga this year, and those classes will be held outside.

 Where should I park? Do I have to pay to park? In addition to free, on-street parking, Moravian College has parking lots that are free-of-charge. Handicap Accessible parking is available.
