The Great Allentown Fair

Established in 1852, The Great Allentown Fair is one of the oldest and largest annual agricultural festivals in the United States. Held every late August through Labor Day at the 46-acre Allentown Fairgrounds, this Lehigh Valley tradition seamlessly blends its rural heritage with modern entertainment.

Visitors can explore livestock exhibits and Agri~Land barnyard tours, or witness high-stakes culinary contests in the Agri~Plex. The iconic Grandstand hosts world-class concerts and the fan-favorite demolition derby, while the bustling midway offers thrilling rides and classic fair food like funnel cakes and Ritz Barbecue. It remains a premier destination for family-friendly education and “Home Grown Fun”.
