The famous NEPA town hosts its annual Fall Foliage Festival every weekend in October.

Experience Jim Thorpe in new and exciting ways.

Join up with a local ghost tour, check out the town’s history at one of several museums or peruse some great, local art. And, of course, you can always slap on a helmet and take the to the road in a truly unique sightseeing tour.  Then, take a break and enjoy some live, local music at any one of four stages throughout town.

With a nickname like “The Gateway to The Poconos,” there’s bound to be some outdoor adventure.

Or hop on a bike and immerse yourself in the grandeur of the scenic Lehigh Gorge State Park. From paintball and epic hiking to snagging those stunning valley views, you can fill up an entire weekend with adventure.

Top off all that sightseeing, shopping and adventure with a drink and a tasty meal.
