Live in the Garden returns to Bethlehem’s Rose Garden for its fifth season this spring and summer, and this episode features three artists from this year’s lineup: Sir Dominique, Mariposas Galacticas, and Wood Flower.
The conversation ties into Next Stage PA, the statewide artist development initiative helping emerging artists grow through performance opportunities, mentorship, and hands-on professional development. In this episode, the artists talk about how their bands took shape, how they think about identity and visuals, what platforms they actually use, and what it takes to promote music and live shows in a way that feels real.
Sir Dominique and Mariposas Galacticas will perform May 16 at Live in the Garden, and Wood Flower will perform June 6.
Live in the Garden is coming back to Bethlehem for its fifth season, bringing another run of free Saturday night concerts to the Rose Garden on the city’s West Side.
The Mom Market is back for its Autumn Edition on Sunday, October 26, 2025, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Bethlehem Rose Garden (1001 W Union Blvd).
This family-friendly market will feature local makers, artisans, wellness vendors, and delicious food, alongside a full day of free community activities.
On this episode of the Lehigh Valley with Love Podcast, we’re joined by Devika Knafo, the organizer behind The Mom Market, a vibrant new pop-up event coming to the Bethlehem Rose Garden on August 24.
The Mom Market is designed to celebrate and support mom and women entrepreneurs in the Lehigh Valley, featuring artisan goods, local businesses, wellness vendors, food, and entertainment in a family-friendly community setting.
We talk about how Devika came up with the idea, the challenges moms face balancing business and family, and why creating spaces for women to connect, collaborate, and grow is so important. She also gives us a preview of the day’s schedule, from community yoga to kids’ storytime and even Disney princess dance-offs, and shares what’s next for this seasonal series of markets.
