BETHEL WOODS, NY — As far as the supervisor of the Town of Bethel is concerned, the Mysteryland Music Festival and its fans are welcome back to Bethel every year. Dan Sturm said the number of people camping at the Bethel Woods Center for the Arts facility had increased this year over last, and this was confirmed by a spokesperson from Mysteryland who said that camping sold out at 10,000 campers, up 35% over last year.

Betty Kang, director of public relations for Mysteryland USA wrote, “Overall attendance for the weekend was 50,000.”

Business in Bethel and the surrounding county were positively affected. Sturm said any business along the Route 17B corridor felt the positive impact over the Memorial Day Weekend, and the boost in spending spread to such places as Floyd and Bobo’s Bakery and Snack Palace in Liberty.

There were fewer complaints about noise than last year. Sturm said last year he received 12 written complaints about the noise at the event; this year that number was down to three.
