NEW DATE: 2026 Carbon County Community Festival

The safety of our vendors, volunteers, entertainers, and attendees comes first. Due to the forecast for severe weather and poor air quality, the Carbon County Community Festival has been postponed to Sunday, July 19, from 12:00–6:00 PM. We can't wait to celebrate with you—please help us spread the word by sharing this event!

Please note, our vendor list, musicians and activities may change due to their availability for a last-minute change. Thank you for understanding!

The Carbon County Chamber & Economic Development Corporation, proud partner of the Greater Lehigh Valley Chamber of Commerce, and Mauch Chunk Trust Company are excited to once again bring the Carbon County Community Festival to downtown Lehighton, this year in partnership with Lehighton Borough Parks & Recreation!

This expanded, family-friendly celebration will span two parks and two live music stages, creating a full-day festival experience featuring multiple bands, craft and business vendors, food trucks, and activities for all ages. With entertainment happening throughout the footprint, attendees are encouraged to explore, connect, and enjoy everything the day has to offer.

New this year, festivalgoers can take part in a Lehighton Shop Local Trail and have a chance to win a local prize packages! Designed to encourage foot traffic and shopping along First and Second Streets in Lehighton, this is a free initiative for the community. Click here to learn more!
