Northampton Area School District
The 2026-27 school year is in full swing in the Northampton Area School District, which serves Northampton Borough, Lehigh Township, Allen Township, and surrounding communities. Fall is a busy stretch for the Konkrete Kids: football, field hockey, cross country, boys and girls soccer, volleyball, and varsity golf all run through the month. The most reliable place for game dates, start times, and venue changes is the district athletics site at nasdathletics.org.
This is also the first school year with the district's elementary facilities realignment in place: the new East Allen Elementary is open this year, Moore Elementary has closed, and attendance boundary changes affect more than 2,000 students. Families new to the area should confirm their assigned school on the district site at nasdschools.org. For back-to-school nights, booster events, and district announcements, that same site's live feed is the place to watch.
Seasonal Things to Do
Bath Farmers Market
The producer-only Bath Farmers Market at Monocacy Creek Park on West Main Street runs Saturday mornings from 9:00 a.m. to noon through the end of September, so this is one of the last weekends to catch it this season. It is a reliable stop for local produce, baked goods, and handmade items. Details are listed at Discover Lehigh Valley.
Blue Mountain Resort
Mid-September is the ramp-up to Blue Mountain's big fall weekends. The free annual Oktoberfest runs Saturday, September 26 and Sunday, September 27, with German food and music, a biergarten, hayrides to the pumpkin patch, craft vendors, and games. Foliage Fest follows on October weekends with free live music and family activities as the leaves peak. In between, the resort's fall lineup includes scenic chairlift rides for leaf peeping, the alpine slide, disc golf, and the mountain bike park. Weekly trivia and live music happen at the Slopeside Pub & Grill. Details are at skibluemt.com.
Woodstone Golf Club
Woodstone, the private club in the foothills of the Blue Mountains near Danielsville, keeps an active fall calendar of member tournaments, outings, specialty dining, and casual rounds as the course is at its best in the crisp autumn air. A public charity event listed this fall is the Strength 'n Love Classic Celebrity Casino Event on Thursday, September 17, promoted through Discover Lehigh Valley. For current public programming and the lodge's Stay and Play packages, which include indoor golf simulators, visit woodstonegolf.com.
