[Allentown, PA] – The beloved neighborhood tradition formerly known as the World of Food Festival is back, bigger and better than ever — now reimagined as the West End Block Party! Join us on Saturday, September 27th from noon to 10 PM on 19th and Liberty Streets for a vibrant celebration of local culture, food, music, and community spirit.

The largest block party in the Lehigh Valley, this year’s West End Block Party is an exciting evolution of the event neighbors know and love, expanding the focus beyond food to include live music, artisan vendors, cold drinks, games, and interactive family-friendly activities — all in the heart of the West End, one of the most walkable traditional neighborhoods in the region.

“We wanted a name that reflected the full experience,” said Liz Martin, Managing Director of the West End Alliance. “It’s more than just great food — it’s music, fun, and connection. We wanted a name to emphasize the festival’s sense of community, inclusivity and celebration.”

Event Highlights:

🎶 Live performances from local bands and DJs

🍽️ Delicious eats from multicultural food vendors

🛍️ Handmade crafts and artisan goods from local makers

🍻 Beer tent and beverage stations

🧩 Kids’ zone with games and crafts

🎨 Community art station and pop-up surprises
