'Bring superstars to our hometown'
The first SteelStacks Smackdown in 2022 drew an audience of nearly 1,000. SteelStacks Smackdown II returned in 2023.
“Since our first event in 2018, LVAC has always strived to build partnerships with unique and exciting venues that could not only house our unique style of sport and entertainment but serve to enhance the experience of both performer and audience member alike,” LVAC owner Chris Regec said.
“While it’s a little more traditional than an abandoned Foot Locker or a retro drive-in theater, the Musikfest Café fits perfectly into this story."LVAC owner Chris Regec

The wrestling shows began at the Sokols Club up on South Mountain — a watering hole with roots that lead right to the blast furnaces behind Bethlehem’s crown jewel of live event spaces.
"It’s been an honor to partner with the team at ArtsQuest as we show the people of the Lehigh Valley just how much fun professional wrestling can be.
“Getting the opportunity to bring so many great superstars to our home in Bethlehem has truly been a pleasure."
