Planning Your Visit
Palmerton sits at the northern end of the Lehigh Gorge near the Pennsylvania Grand Canyon lookouts — Lehigh Gorge State Park, Jim Thorpe (the "Jewel of the Mountains"), and the D&L Trail are all within easy reach.
A Closer Look
In Palmerton, the Carbon County Fair is an early-August fair in the Lehigh River valley at the foot of the Blue Mountain, celebrating the agricultural heritage of a county better known for its Poconos scenery than its farmland.
Fair Highlights
Typical offerings include livestock shows, 4-H and FFA competitions, carnival rides, local food vendors, and a fair serving the communities of the Lehigh Gorge country where farming persists in the mountain valleys.
