VALLEY, Pa., Aug. 22,
2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- As we bid farewell to a
sweltering summer, Lehigh Valley is eagerly embracing the
refreshing arrival of fall. From local harvest festivals and
seasonal markets to invigorating outdoor adventures and cultural
celebrations, Discover Lehigh Valley® invites visitors and
residents alike to immerse themselves in its dynamic offerings.
With a blend of traditional charm and contemporary flair, this
season promises an unforgettable experience for all who venture
into the small towns and big cities of Lehigh Valley.
This season, there's even more reason to explore than ever
before. The Moravian Church Settlements in Bethlehem are among the newest UNESCO World
Heritage Sites in the world. Walk through this historic cultural
landmark and learn about the Moravians and their history, culture
and local contributions, while taking in the changing leaves of the
city. Travelers will also have the opportunity to stay at one of
the finest historic hotels in the country, as Historic Hotel
Bethlehem was just named the Best Historic Hotel by USA TODAY for the fourth consecutive year.
"Fall in Lehigh Valley is a
time of transformation where the region's rich history takes center
stage amid a stunning backdrop of autumn leaves and rolling hills.
It's the perfect getaway for families, couples and solo travelers
