With Valentine’s Day falling on a Friday this year, a whole weekend of festivities – or relaxing activities with friends, loved ones, or solo – are in order. Here is what is happening in Jim Thorpe and Lehigh Valley this Valentine’s.
Jim Thorpe’s Winterfest
The annual winter celebration has served as an off-season boost to local businesses and has celebrated the community for over three decades. This year, the festivities will be held on Feb. 15 and 16, and include ice carvings, live entertainment, trolley tours, carriage rides, food and drink specials, and the Lehigh Gorge Scenic Railway round-trip train rides.
Guest-favorite Mug Walk returns as visitors may purchase a commemorative mug ($30), which comes with a walking map and a tote bag. Participating retailers in the Jim Thorpe downtown area will welcome patrons with specials, goodies, and surprises along the way.
