Nazareth Days?? What are Nazareth Days??

In Nazareth, PA, an event is held every year during the 3rd weekend (Friday and Saturday) in July and it is called Nazareth Days.

On Friday, the local merchants participate in a sidewalk sale. As you stroll down the streets checking out the sale merchandise, you can also smell popcorn (you can get for FREE) and hot dogs (at a good price). You can also get ice cream (25c) to cool off with.

Friday night, there is a good old fashioned block party with a live band.

On Saturday, in addition to the sidewalk sales, there will also be a road rally (4:30PM).

You can also hop onto the trolley and take a ride over to the Nazareth Boro Park for more activities. Feel like walking? No problem. The park is only a few blocks from downtown Nazareth.

At the park there will be arts and crafts, flea market, food, car show and, for the finale, a huge fireworks display at 10PM.

The wonderful thing about Nazareth Days is that all of this is FREE.

So, come on out to Nazareth Days, meet your friends and neighbors, and join in on the fun.

Hope to see you there!!
