Every May the city’s signature event, Mayfair, takes place over Memorial Day weekend. It combines live musical acts with food, arts, crafts and other outdoor activities for a five-day event perfect for the entire family. Sportsfest, a weekend filled with a variety of sporting competitions, is held in July. The Great Allentown Fair is an annual tradition with rides, games and musical performances by Top 40 artists that brings the summer to a close over Labor Day weekend.

Average Allentown Weather
Allentown experiences all four seasons giving residents and visitors alike the opportunity to be in the outdoors year round with a different experience each time. During winter the city sees snow which settles beautifully on South Mountain making for a picturesque backdrop. Winter temperatures typically hover around the 20s and 30s but wind chills can make them dip to near zero. Spring brings a warm up and makes the city bloom with average temperatures in the 60s and 70s. Summers in Allentown bring out residents and visitors with hot and exciting days in the 80s and 90s and warm but comfortable evenings in the 70s. One of the most spectacular times to visit eastern Pennsylvania is in the fall when changing fall foliage makes the mountainside come alive in hues of red, orange and yellow. Cool temperatures in the 50s and 60s call for a sweater or light jacket and send a signal that winter is not far behind.
