Mary Moeller, with the local Truist Branch and the Nazareth Area Chamber Chairperson said, “Truist is again excited to partner with the Nazareth Area Chamber for the Nazareth Fall Festival which has become an annual tradition to the Nazareth area in conjunction with the Halloween Parade.  This is an exciting way to kick off the Fall season by celebrating in this community and bringing awareness to the Nazareth area businesses and community organizations.”

Mario Andretti, Nazareth resident and world-renowned racing legend, and a sponsor of the Nazareth Fall Festival, shared his enthusiasm for this special event. “Fall is great for capturing what the greater Nazareth area is all about. It is the time of the year where the community can come together and enjoy some of the best family-friendly activities including this local initiative, the Nazareth Fall Festival right after the Halloween Parade. It is festivals like this one, that support local businesses, put a spotlight on our community with everything it has to offer and brings family and friends together for a fun filled day!”

“Fall in love with Nazareth all over again,” said Jessica O’Donnell, Executive Vice President of Affiliated Chambers and the Northern Tier for the Greater Lehigh Valley Chamber. “This event is one the community counts on to set the Fall Feeling. It is always great to see Main Street full of Nazareth area families and community members, as well as visitors from the surrounding areas of the Lehigh Valley, strolling around the festival and seeing all that Nazareth has to offer.”

“This is a festival that reminds us what it means to live and work in the Nazareth area,” said Nicole Miles, Manager of the Nazareth Area Chamber of Commerce, “Coming together as a community to celebrate the simple pleasures of Fall- from Halloween costumes to pumpkin activities to a little friendly competition among neighbors and classmates on stage. Top that off with two great musical acts and some tasty treats and you’ve got the makings of a fine Fall day!”
