Music Alive at the Red Barn Stage in the Fairgrounds Farmers Market

Pennsylvania Music Preservation Society (PAMPS) was proud to announce our new entertainment stage at the 2024 Great Allentown Fair, all thanks to our generous sponsors. The “MUSIC ALIVE AT THE RED BARN STAGE” was near the Red Barn produce stand in the Fairgrounds Farmers Market building. The “Music Alive” name was chosen in honor of the late Carole Gorney, Professor Emeritus at Lehigh University, who coined the phrase when she was PAMPS’ Executive Director.
The stage featured musicians of all ages who took the time to entertain our guests during the 2024 Great Allentown Fair.
The Pennsylvania Music Preservation Society aims to promote Pennsylvania’s abundance of musical talents. You can help fund our activities by donating to PAMPS, using the “Donate” link at the bottom of our Membership page.
