BETHLEHEM, Pa. (WPVI) -- Bethlehem Police have announced plans for tighter security measures at this year's Musikfest.

Police say additional security cameras will be monitored through an on-site mobile command center.

In addition, more lighting will brighten the path up and down Main Street.

The increased security comes after a number of serious incidents last year, including two shootings near festival grounds.

41 people were also arrested, mostly for public drunkenness.
