Week of September 21, 2026 Happenings Around Northampton, PA

Here is the rundown for the week of September 21, 2026 around Northampton, PA: the next public meetings in Allen, East Allen, and Moore Townships and the Boroughs of Bath and Northampton, what is happening at the Northampton Area School District, seasonal activities at Blue Mountain and Woodstone, and dependable places to eat nearby. If you live in Oakdale Manor at 528 Rosewood Dr or are thinking about buying there, these are the dates and events worth putting on the calendar this week and into early October.

Municipal Meetings This Week and Beyond

Public meetings are where residents get the most direct line on local decisions, from land use to budgets to public works. Agendas are typically posted a few days before each meeting and usually cover approval of minutes, reports from staff and boards, new business and motions, and public comment. Check each municipality's official site for the current agenda before attending, because dates can shift around holidays.

Allen Township

  • Board of Supervisors: Tuesday, September 22 at 6:00 p.m., Municipal Building, 50 Snow Hill Rd, Northampton (the supervisors meet the second and fourth Tuesdays, so October 13 and 27 are next)
  • Planning Commission: Monday, September 21 at 6:00 p.m.; confirm on the township site

Construction on the Graystone Circle roadway extension, the western loop closure at the township line, continues through September, and a data-center application remains under review by the Lehigh Valley Planning Commission after the supervisors adopted new data-center regulations in August. Agendas and minutes are posted at allentownship.org.

East Allen Township

  • Board of Supervisors: Thursday, September 24 at 7:00 p.m., 5344 Nor-Bath Blvd, Northampton (then October 8 and 22)
  • Community bus trip: Saturday, September 19 to the New Hope Railroad and Peddler's Village, organized by the township

The board advanced a rewrite of the township's zoning ordinance to a 45-day public comment period at its August 27 meeting, the biggest planning item in this area in a while, and the township began livestreaming its meetings. Meeting information is posted on the township's Diligent portal and at eatwp.org.

Moore Township

  • Board of Supervisors: next regular meeting Tuesday, October 6 at 6:00 p.m., Municipal Building, 2491 Community Dr, Bath (September's meeting was September 1)
  • Planning Commission: Monday, September 28 at 6:00 p.m. (the fourth Monday)

Recent board agendas have carried items like the Dannersville Road stream restoration project, an animal control ordinance, and fire-service billing, and as fall advances the conversation typically turns toward the annual budget. Agendas and minutes are available at mooretownship.org.

Bath Borough

  • Storm Water Authority: Monday, September 28 at 6:00 p.m.
  • Borough Council: the next regular meeting lands in October; the second-Monday date falls on Columbus Day, and the borough moves holiday meetings to the following Tuesday, so confirm the exact date at bathborough.org

Stormwater remains a regular topic of discussion in Bath: the May 11 council agenda considered Ordinance No. 2026-743 authorizing the Bath Storm Water Authority to issue up to $1.045 million in debt for infrastructure work, with the borough guaranteeing repayment. Agendas and minutes are posted at bathborough.org.

Northampton Borough

  • Borough Council: Thursday, September 17 at 7:00 p.m., livestreamed on the borough's YouTube channel; the next meeting after that has not been posted yet
  • Northampton Borough Municipal Authority (water and sewer): second Tuesday of each month at 4:00 p.m., 1 Clear Springs Dr; October 13 is next
  • Northampton County Council also meets Thursday, September 17 at 6:30 p.m. if you want the county-level agenda too

Upgrades are coming to Canal Street Park and the D&L Trail, which keeps the local recreation news lively this fall. Meeting agendas and minutes are posted at northamptonboro.com, and council sessions are livestreamed for anyone who cannot attend in person.

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. On the football field, the Konkrete Kids host Parkland on Friday, September 25 at 7:00 p.m. and Pleasant Valley on Thursday, October 1 at 7:00 p.m., both at Al Erdosy Stadium, and the weekly home schedule makes for easy local game nights. The rest of the fall slate, including boys and girls soccer, field hockey, cross country, volleyball, and varsity golf, runs through October. 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, Moore Elementary has closed, and attendance boundary changes affect thousands of students. Families new to the area should confirm their assigned school on the district site at nasdschools.org. Board meeting agendas are posted on the district's BoardDocs portal, and recordings and the 2026-27 district calendar live on the district site.
