Old favorites like Crosby, Stills and Nash mix with the tween scene's Aaron Carter and the Celtic Enter the Haggis.

Aug. 6, 5 to 11 p.m., Aug. 7-15, noon to 11 p.m. Free performances on 10 stages, $18-$39 tickets required for three stages. Three hours from the Beltway in Bethlehem, Pa. 610-332-3378, www.musikfest.org.
