Musikfest and TD Bank Team Up to Offer First Backstage VIP Experience in Musikfest History

It may be cold and snowy outside, but ArtsQuest and TD Bank, America's Most Convenient Bank, are teaming up to knock out Old Man Winter with a hot VIP Musikfest experience.

This August, Musikfest is giving one member of the public and a guest the opportunity to go behind the scenes at the festival's Sands Steel Stage main stage for a VIP experience unlike any other.

As part of the "TD Bank Musikfest Dream Giveaway Experience," one winner will receive two front-row tickets to the Musikfest 2014 main stage concert of his or her choice, overnight suite accommodations at Sands Casino Resort Bethlehem, $500 TD Bank Visa Gift Card and $200 in official Musikfest Food & Beverage Tickets. Making the evening even more memorable will be a guided backstage tour of the Sands Steel Stage, photograph of the winner on the stage before the concert, and the opportunity to meet that evening's performer (pending artist management approval). Sands Steel Stage artists announced so far are Keith Urban, The Moody Blues, The Avett Brothers and Alan Jackson; the other six festival headliners will be announced in the coming weeks.

"At TD Bank, we believe strongly in supporting the organizations, programs and initiatives that are helping to make our community a better place to work, live and play," says TD Bank Lehigh Valley Region Vice President and Retail Market Manager Timothy Canfield. "Musikfest is not only one of the largest music festivals in the nation, it's also one of the premier community events in our region, bringing hundreds of amazing performers to the Lehigh Valley each August for 10 days of great, free music and art that's enjoyed by hundreds of thousands of people."

"For the past decade, TD Bank has been honored to partner with ArtsQuest on quality music and arts programming at events such as Musikfest and Christkindlmarkt, as well as the free concerts on the TD Community Stage at SteelStacks. The support of these programs ties in perfectly with who we are. By partnering with Musikfest on this unique VIP experience, we're now able to highlight some of the amazing work that goes on behind the scenes to present this incredible festival and community event."
