The 2020 Great Allentown Fair that was scheduled to be held September 1-7 is canceled due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Beverly Gruber, president of the nonprofit Lehigh County Agricultural Society that owns and operates the Fair and its home Allentown Fairgrounds, announced the unanimous decision of the organization's executive committee.

"We took into account all aspects that go into producing a safe premier event and ultimately the health and welfare of the thousands of local, out-of-town and out-of-state fairgoers, exhibitors, vendors and entertainers was paramount in our decision."

The Allentown Fair in its rich 168 year history has weathered some turbulent times. We look forward to coming back together in 2021 with a greater appreciation of community, agriculture and celebration. 2021 - Fair dates: August 31 – September 6, 2021
