1- RaggaeFest at SteelStacks

If you're looking for something unique to do this weekend, head over to the SteelStacks in South Bethlehem for this FREE festival. Saturday's day-long festival featuring eclectic vendors, authentic Jamaican food and fun under the sun. (Saturday, July 7th)


2- All the Concerts!

Another weekend full of live outdoor music. This week check out: Catasauqua Summer Concert Series, West Park Concert Series, Whitehall Township Summer Concert Series, 2024 Summer Concert Series in the Kutztown Bandshell, and Emmaus Concerts in the Park. There are concerts all three nights this weekend. Pick one, two, or three and enjoy a night out! (Friday - Sunday, July 5th - 7th)


3- See a Drive-in Movie

So this one will require your littlest to stay up a bit late, BUT, this weekend you can head to Becky's Drive-in for a double movie! Start with Despicable Me 4 and follow it with Inside Out 2. Two movies for the price of one! Throw your kids in jammies, bring blankets and all the snacks, and create a core memory for your children. (Friday - Sunday, July 5th - 7th)


4- Visit Dorney Park

Rides for the whole family, a giant waterpark, great food, and the excitement of an amusement park. It doesn't get much better than that... or does it? What about tickets for up to 49% off?! Macaroni KID's parent company, CertifiKID, is offering discount tickets HERE


5- Jurassic Quest 

Calling all dinosaur fans! This one's for you. Once a year, the Allentown Fairgrounds are taken over by all things dinosaurs! Some of the many exhibits include: animatronic dinosaurs, dino babies, fossil digs, inflatables, and so much more! (Friday - Sunday, July 5th - 7th)
