MUSIKFEST

The former Experienceplatz, located at Main and Lehigh streets, has been renamed Zinzenplatz as a result of an open to the public contest. The site will feature live music, food, the Prismatica art installation and more.

Zinzen is a short form of von Zinzendorf, the maiden name of Moravian Countess Benigna, wife of Johannes von Watteville and the daughter of city founder Count Nicholas von Zinzendorf.

She first arrived in America in 1741 for an 18-month visit with her father. A year later, at age 16, she founded the Moravian Seminary for Young Ladies, the first school in the United States to educate females.
