Fun on the Midway: July 2023 Local Carnival Dates & Details

It wouldn’t be summer in southeastern Pennsylvania without summer carnivals, and after several summers in which many events were postponed or canceled amid the Covid pandemic, the Lehigh Valley area carnival schedule for the summer of 2023 is looking rather full.

Below is a list in chronological order of small-town and fire company carnivals and fairs that will be taking place in Northampton and Bucks counties throughout the month of July. While this list is not meant to be comprehensive, if there’s a carnival in Lehigh County, Northampton County or upper Bucks County that we haven’t listed here, please feel free to email josh@sauconsource.com with a flyer (.jpg, .png or .pdf) and/or a link to its Facebook page/website. We will gladly consider the information contained in any submissions for updates and/or possible future news articles/coverage.

Please note that some of the information we have highlighted below may be subject to change. We recommend that readers review the most up-to-date information available by visiting carnival websites, checking social media channels and/or searching online before planning their visit to one of these fun, family-friendly events.

Have fun!
