About Allentown Fair

The Allentown Fair is one of Pennsylvania's largest and most attended county fairs, a six-day early-September celebration in the heart of the Lehigh Valley drawing hundreds of thousands of visitors to its grandstand concerts and sprawling midway. Dating to 1852, it is one of Pennsylvania's oldest and most enduring agricultural fair traditions.

What to Expect

Expect headline grandstand entertainment, livestock shows, 4-H and FFA competitions, carnival rides, demolition derby, and a massive midway with dozens of food vendors in Pennsylvania's third-largest city.

Visitor Tips

Allentown is the anchor of the Lehigh Valley — the ArtsQuest complex at SteelStacks (the former Bethlehem Steel site), the Crayola Experience, Dorney Park, and the Delaware Water Gap are all within easy reach.
