The last full month of summer is upon us, so it’s time to really live it up. There’s always a ton of things to do in Lehigh Valley, PA and August is no exception.
In no time at all, the kids will be back in school, so make the most of the remaining few weeks of freedom. Before you know it, evenings will be occupied by homework and shuttling youngsters to and from their extracurricular activities.
Here at HTSS, Inc., we can’t get enough of all the fun offered in our local community. As always, we’ve compiled a list of our favorite August happenings, and we hope you’ll enjoy them too.
3 Must-Attend August Events
Musikfest
The largest free music festival in the U.S. is back. Musikfest takes places from Aug. 2-11 in Bethlehem, and you don’t want to miss it. Running since 1984, the festival is one of the most diverse in the country. Enjoy more than 500 shows on 17 stages during the 10-day festival. Make a day of it — or several — to listen to a wide-variety of free shows and ticketed performances by big names like Train & The Goo Goo Dolls, Lady Antebellum, The Chainsmokers, Brad Paisley and Earth, Wind & Fire.
The Great Pocono Raceway Airshow
