Northampton Area School District
The 2026-27 school year is up and running in the Northampton Area School District, which serves Northampton Borough, Lehigh Township, Allen Township, and surrounding communities. Labor Day falls on Monday, September 7, so students and staff get a three-day weekend early in the school year. The district's redistricting and elementary realignment plan takes effect this school year, with attendance boundary changes that affect more than 2,000 students, so families new to the area should confirm their assigned school on the district site.
Fall sports are already underway at Northampton Area High School. Early September brings boys varsity soccer and varsity golf contests, and the full slate of football, field hockey, cross country, and volleyball continues through the month. The most reliable place for dates, start times, and venue changes is the district's athletics site at nasdathletics.org. For back-to-school nights, booster events, and district announcements, watch nasdschools.org.
Seasonal Things to Do
Bath Farmers Market
The Bath Farmers Market runs Fridays from 3:00 to 7:00 p.m. through September near the American Legion on Route ️329. It is a last chance this season for local produce, baked goods, and handmade goods before the market closes for the fall season, so stop by while the selection is at its peak.
Blue Mountain Resort
Fall programming at Blue Mountain includes the annual Oktoberfest on the mountain on Saturday, September 26 and Sunday, September 27, a free weekend with German food and music, a biergarten, vendors, family activities, and scenic chairlift rides. Outside of event weekends, the resort's fall operations (weather permitting) include scenic chairlift rides for leaf peeping, the alpine slide, and disc golf. Details are at skibluemt.com.
Woodstone Golf Club
Woodstone is a private 18-hole championship course in the foothills of the Blue Mountains near Northampton and Danielsville. Late summer and early fall are prime golf weather in the Lehigh Valley, and members can tee up league play, tournaments, and casual rounds as the evenings turn crisp. As a private club, most fall league and event details go through the membership portal at woodstonegolf.clubhouseonline-e3.com.
Recreation Nearby
For a free afternoon outdoors, Jacobsburg Environmental Education Center just outside Nazareth offers miles of trails through forest and fields, and Two T's Mini Golf & Birdie's Ice Creamery at 3521 Sullivan Trail, Easton, is a family favorite for mini golf with ice cream afterwards.
