EMMAUS, Pa. – The Farewell to Summer Festival took place on Saturday in Lehigh County to celebrate the changing seasons.<\/p>\n
The free community event filled Emmaus Triangle Park and Main Street from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. with family-fun activities for all to enjoy.<\/p>\n
The Farewell to Summer Festival featured more than 50 local vendors, food trucks, and a variety of activities throughout the borough.<\/p>\n
Additionally, kids had several activities to participate in, including the Touch-a-Truck experience, a tie-dye station, a character meet-and-greet with Moana and Spider-Man, and a screening of The Goonies at Emmaus Theatre.<\/p>\n
The Easton event kicked off at 11 a.m. with a free 30-minute outdoor mat Pilates class in Triangle Park.<\/p>\n
Alongside visiting booths and artisan vendors, the popular Scarecrow Trail returned to encourage participants to visit downtown businesses throughout the festival.<\/p>\n
At each stop on the trail, guests could collect puzzle pieces to build a scarecrow and complete their trail passport. Completed passports were entered into a raffle for a chance to win $50 in local gift cards, event organizers say.<\/p>\n
“The Farewell to Summer Festival is more than an event; it’s a celebration of community,” said Hayden Rinde, Manager of the Emmaus Main Street Partners.<\/p>\n
“Year after year, it brings together neighbors and welcomes new visitors to town, shines a spotlight on local businesses, and creates lasting memories in the heart of the Emmaus Borough,\u201d Rinde added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"EMMAUS, Pa. – The Farewell to Summer Festival took place on Saturday in Lehigh County to celebrate the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":290116,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[14],"tags":[153,155,154,524,3151,120426,1137,1515,2726,3668,6673],"class_list":["post-290115","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-bethlehem","tag-bethlehem","tag-bethlehem-headlines","tag-bethlehem-news","tag-community","tag-emmaus","tag-end-of-summer-festival","tag-festival","tag-food","tag-kids","tag-summer","tag-vendors"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/290115","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=290115"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/290115\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/290116"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=290115"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=290115"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=290115"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
