Week of September 28, 2026 Happenings Around Northampton, PA

Here is the rundown for the week of September 28, 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 as the leaves turn, 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 through mid-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: the September meetings (September 8 and September 22) have passed; the next regular meetings are Tuesday, October 13 and Tuesday, October 27 at 6:00 p.m., Municipal Building, 50 Snowhill Rd, Northampton

Construction on the Graystone Circle roadway extension continues as the western loop closes at the township line, 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: next regular meetings Thursday, October 8 and Thursday, October 22 at 7:00 p.m., 5344 Nor-Bath Blvd, Northampton (September 24 was the last)

The 45-day public comment period on the township's zoning ordinance rewrite, opened at the August 27 meeting, stays open through early October, so this is the window to weigh in before the board returns to it in October. The township livestreams its meetings now. Agendas and minutes are posted on the township's Diligent portal and at eatwp.org.

Moore Township

  • Planning Commission: Monday, September 28 at 6:00 p.m. (the fourth Monday)
  • Board of Supervisors: Tuesday, October 6 at 6:00 p.m., Municipal Building, 2491 Community Dr, Bath (the first Tuesday)

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 turns toward the annual budget, which the township has been preparing without a tax increase. Agendas and minutes are available at mooretownship.org.

Bath Borough

  • Storm Water Authority: Monday, September 28 at 6:00 p.m.
  • Borough Council: the second-Monday meeting on October 12 falls on Columbus Day, and the borough moves holiday meetings to the following day, so the October regular meeting is expected Tuesday, October 13 at 6:00 p.m.; confirm 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, October 15 at 7:00 p.m., livestreamed on the borough's YouTube channel (September 17 was the last meeting)
  • 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

Upgrades continue to come 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 Pleasant Valley on Thursday, October 1 at 7:00 p.m. at Al Erdosy Stadium, then travel to Easton on Friday, October 9, host Freedom on Friday, October 16, visit Nazareth on Friday, October 23, and host Bethlehem Catholic on Friday, October 30; the annual Thanksgiving morning game against Catasauqua is Thursday, November 26 at 10:00 a.m. 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.

The school board holds its regular meetings Mondays at 6:30 p.m. in the Northampton Area High School auditorium at 1619 Laubach Ave; the next regular meeting is Monday, October 12. Families new to the area should confirm their assigned school on the district site at nasdschools.org, since this is the first year with the elementary facilities realignment in place: the new East Allen Elementary is open, Moore Elementary has closed, and attendance boundaries have changed for thousands of students. Board meeting agendas are posted on the district's BoardDocs portal, and recordings and the 2026-27 district calendar live on the district site.

Seasonal Things to Do

Blue Mountain Resort

Oktoberfest at Blue Mountain wrapped up on the weekend of September 26-27, and now the resort shifts fully into foliage season. Foliage Fest runs on October weekends: the resort's 2026 events calendar lists October 10-11 as its Foliage Fest weekend, with fall weekends continuing through late October, featuring free live music on the Summit patio (roughly noon to 3:00 p.m.), pumpkin carving and painting stations, food and drink specials, games, and s'mores by the fire. Scenic chairlift rides up the ridge run on fall weekends, weather permitting, and tickets are purchased separately at the resort. Saturday, October 3 brings a Fall Yard Sale at Valley Lodge and a Crafts and Cocktails bouquet-making session, and the haunted high-ropes course returns after dark later in the month. Details are at skibluemt.com.

Woodstone Golf Club

Woodstone, the private club in the Blue Mountain foothills near Danielsville, is in prime fall golf weather: October is typically the course's best stretch of the season, with cooler air and the ridge turning color. The club keeps an active calendar of member tournaments, team play through the Golf Association of Philadelphia, specialty dining, and junior programming, so members should watch woodstonegolf.com/events for October dates and outings as they are posted.

Bath Farmers Market

The Bath Farmers Market runs Thursdays from 3:00 to 6:30 p.m. at James Couzens Memorial Park through the last Thursday of October, a dependable producer-only stop for local produce, meats, eggs, baked goods, flowers, and soaps as the harvest comes in. Market details are at bathtownship.us and bathborough.org.

Family and Community Events

Lehigh Township hosts National Night Out on Tuesday, October 6 at 6:00 p.m. at Berlinsville (Bryfogle) Park, 4610 Aspen Dr in Walnutport, a free evening for the community to meet police, fire, and emergency services. The annual Bath Halloween Parade steps off Tuesday, October 20 at 7:00 p.m. in the Borough of Bath, free and open to everyone. And Seiple Farms outside Bath is in its fall season: pumpkin picking, a corn maze, hayrides, and carnival rides, with DJ weekends at the patch running noon to 5:00 p.m. on September 26-27 and more to come as October builds toward Halloween.
