Please join us Sunday, 5/3 to for our 5th annual Bubba’s Bash to celebrate our incredible BUBBA


We will be spending the day making sure Bubba knows how loved he is, and how many people he’s touched over the last 5 years since joining our farmily. 


For those that aren’t familiar with why we dedicate our spring festival to Bubba every year, he’s come a very long way over the last 5 years with us and we’re extremely proud of him. On 4/28/21, we drove almost 2 hours to rescue a near-200lb pig that was living confined to a dog cage in the dining room of a North Philadelphia row home. Being morbidly obese due to confinement and an improper diet, weighing close to double what he should have, caused Bubba to be “fat blind” (fat on his face was so bad, it covered his eyes). Within the first 2 years in our care, our amazing Bubba lost 100lbs (losing 70lbs in his first year with us ), and in Sept 2022, was healthy enough to undergo surgery to remove the fat rolls from his face that were covering his eyes. That surgery completely restored his eyesight, and gave him a new life.


So please join us in celebrating our 5 year mark with Bubba on Sunday, 5/3 from 10am-4pm! You’ll get to interact with and learn about all of our animals, take a pony ride, and check out our vendors offering their products and services. Take advantage of visiting Head Over Hooves Farm Sanctuary for just $10/per person, and under 2 free! Great fun for the entire family! Tickets can be purchased upon arrival to the farm. Cash and Venmo accepted. All proceeds go directly towards the care of the animals

The event will showcase hundreds of drones, illuminated and synced to music, producing dazzling displays, visuals and patterns across the night sky. The drone performance will be followed by the largest fireworks display in Coca-Cola Park’s history, combining for the most expansive skyward celebration ever staged in the Lehigh Valley all in celebration of America’s 250th anniversary. 

“We are excited to host the Lehigh Valley’s pinnacle event celebrating our country’s 250th anniversary in such grand style,” said Kurt Landes, President & General Manager of the IronPigs. “Designed to be the region’s apex 250th birthday event, it’s an honor to be opening Coca-Cola Park to the community for such a meaningful, memorable and patriotic celebration. This once-in-a-lifetime occasion will not only bring the area’s largest drone and largest fireworks display ever, but also impactful ceremonies recognizing our veterans, active military and first responders while also honoring our entire community’s legacy and history.”

Heritage Day is a celebration of one of the first three readings of the Declaration of Independence, which took place in Trenton, NJ, Philadelphia, PA, and Easton, PA on July 8, 1776.

Heritage Day is one part history and culture festival and another part block party and music festival. Featuring a wide variety of historical exhibitors and reenactments that showcase local, regional, and national history, as well as a full-scale music festival and block party in the afternoon, Heritage Day is a unique day-long, family-friendly event with something for everyone.

2026 is an extra special year for Heritage Day given that it is the 250th anniversary of the founding of America and Easton's important role in that moment.

he Great Allentown Fair (September 2–September 7, 2026)

The annual operation of The Great Allentown Fair for more than a century and a half is a testament to the viability and durability of the Society’s mission conceived in 1852.  

The 21st Century version of the fair is steeped in the tradition of its rich agricultural roots while highly emphasizing education for the non-agrarian public. Its diverse entertainment offerings attract attendees of all ages and tastes.

For over 170 years, the Great Allentown Fair (held on the Allentown Fairgrounds) offers a fun and educational experience around Labor Day Weekend every year. Dedicated to supporting the achievements of farmers, gardeners, and homemakers, the Pennsylvania State Fair invites guests to learn about agriculture while spending an exciting time riding rides, playing games, and musical performances. It serves up tantalizing international cuisine, live concerts, thrill shows, and the latest in gizmos and gadgets.
