The 54th Annual Muhlenberg Summer Festival begins a four-day run Aug. 19 at Lehigh Valley Hospital - Muhlenberg, Bethlehem.

The festival, held on the north side of the hospital campus off Schoenersville Road near Routes 22 and 378, is one of the hospital's largest fundraisers, raising millions to support services at the LVH - Muhlenberg campus. The first festival was held before ground was broken for what was to become Muhlenberg Medical Center.

Festival hours are 5 - 10:30 p.m. Aug. 19, 20, 21 and noon - 10:30 p.m. Aug. 22.

Each night of the four-day festival includes activities for children in "KiddieLand," including balloon creations, face-painting, a duck pond and more. Food, crafts and entertainment is available.

Artisans and craftspersons offer hand-crafted items, including oil and watercolor paintings, wood carvings and jewelry.
