Food and Friends at the Allentown Fair
Zoya Williams| Writer
The Great Allentown Fair comes around for one week every year. Here’s a recap.
Friday September 4th, 2026 was free entry for 2 hours, that’s when we made our way in. At first
just walking around, seeing the camels and all the food available. There were a decent amount of people
around. The first place we stopped was a licorice shop. We bought some cinnamon licorice ($8) as a gift
for my grandmother.
After a while we decided to get some food, we got fried mozzarella on a stick ($10) and a small
fry ($7). The mozzarella was good, although a bit overpriced, the fries were bad, they were half raw and
oily.
After this we continued to walk around for a bit looking at the animals and some of the indoor
stands. We tried to see the butterfly house, but when we got there it was closing. By now we were
wrapping up, got a walking taco ($6) and that was amazing and so delicious.
Before we left the fair, we all got gyros with everything on it ($15). These gyros are the highlight
of the year, best we’ve ever had. After leaving we all split ways and I went to Wingstop to pick up some
dinner. Even though the fair never seems to last long enough it’s great to be able to go with people you
love and create new memories together.
