A show at Levitt Pavilion SteelStacks starts while the sun is still working, about 15 degrees above the horizon at 7 PM in high summer, bearing west-northwest, with sunset not arriving until 8:31 PM. Across a typical 7:00 PM event, our model puts the average spot here at 75 percent shaded. Where you land against that average depends heavily on which section you pick.
One flank of the venue does very well: section 213 models at 94 percent shaded, 111 at 93, 212 at 92, 110 at 89, 211 at 88, and 109 at 82. Those are the seats for anyone who wants the Bethlehem evening without the squint, nearly the whole show passes before direct sun finds them, if it ever does.
The sunniest ground is the central lawn: Lawn 3, 4, 5, and 6 all model at 63 percent shaded. On open grass with the stage-to-lawn line running toward the south-southwest, that midfield stretch simply has more open sky above it and takes the low western sun longer than the flanks do. It is a fine place to be, 63 percent shade is a reasonable evening, but it is the spot where sunscreen and a hat still earn their keep.
Counting from 6 PM, the average drops to 52 percent shaded, which tells you exactly when this venue is at its sunniest: the claim-your-spot hour before showtime. Come at 6 and you trade an hour of sun for a better patch of lawn; come at 7 and the math already favors you. Either way, everything after 8:31 PM at Levitt Pavilion SteelStacks is shade by definition. The interactive shade map will run your specific date if you want the shadow line down to the minute.
