ALLENTOWN, Pa. – At the Allentown Fair, everyone has favorites. From rides:<\/p>\n
\u201c[The swings are] fun because it\u2019s not like normal swings. You get to go this way instead of that way,\u201d said Addison, a kid enjoying the fair.<\/p>\n
To food:<\/p>\n
\u201cA corn dog and French fries,\u201d said Clara.<\/p>\n
And games:<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is like an old-fashioned fair. Like, I have never seen anyone win a goldfish before; that was crazy,\u201d said Quinn.<\/p>\n
For two hours on Friday afternoon, the fair was a place for everyone.<\/p>\n
A place where people who don’t like loud noises or bright lights could experience all the fair has to offer. To make memories and have the chance to develop their own fair favorites.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt allows someone who may not come to the fair the opportunity to come to the fair and experience the midway and come out and have a good time,\u201d said Joseph Zutter of Powers & Thomas Midway Entertainment<\/p>\n
Inclusive Day at the Allentown Fair was so popular in 2025 that organizers brought it back this year.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt just is something that has picked up and taken off the last couple of years,\u201d Zutter said.<\/p>\n
The success of the event goes to show that dimming the noise and lights, sometimes, allows other people to shine.<\/p>\n
\u201cEveryone should get privileged the same way everyone else does, so if there are bright flashing lights and people don’t like it, they will probably leave and won\u2019t get to stay. I don’t think that is fair that they won\u2019t get to stay,\u201d said local kid Ella.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"ALLENTOWN, Pa. – At the Allentown Fair, everyone has favorites.
