1- TacoFest at The Steel Stacks

Anything involving tacos will always get the number one spot on these lists! If you haven't been to an event at The SteelStacks yet, you are missing out! This is an amazing venue in South Bethlehem with tons of history. One of my favorite things to do at SteelStacks events is to walk along the raised platform and enjoy the views and crowds below. Now, couple all this with tacos and you have an event that shouldn't be missed! This Sunday, visit TacoFest for live music, drinks, vendors, a chihuahua beauty contest (!!!!!), and of course tacos!

2- Cars and Coffee at America on Wheels

This Sunday, head to America On Wheels early for this FREE outdoor event. Enjoy coffee and cars on display. If you want to tour indoors, tickets will be BOGO until 11:00 AM. Perfect for those early-rising toddlers! (Sunday, July 9th)


3- Upcycle Summer Series: Jewelry Jam Workshop

Plan a fun outing with your tween or teen at The Allentown Art Museum this weekend. Bring your old and unloved jewelry and learn how to give it a transformation and make it new again! This is a FREE event. (Saturday and Sunday, July 8th and 9th)


4- First Friday at the Banana Factory

The first Friday of every month, the Banana Factory opens its doors to the public. Check out their current exhibits and enjoy a fun craft for the kiddos! (Friday, July 7th)


5- Second Saturday: All Day Block Party!

This Saturday, the Bradbury-Sullivan LGBT Community Center will be hosting a block party with events for all ages.
