Hellertown-Lower Saucon Taste Trail 2025 Sept 27 with food, drink, wellness stops, and local fun across Saucon Valley.
In Saucon Valley, food has a way of bringing people together.
From cozy pubs and family pizza spots to wellness studios and local gyms, there’s a special rhythm to a day spent walking through town, meeting owners, and tasting what they love to make. That’s exactly what the Hellertown-Lower Saucon Taste Trail is all about.
Back for its second year on Saturday, September 27, 2025, this one-day passport event invites residents and visitors to eat, sip, move, and explore their way across Hellertown and Lower Saucon.
With more stops, more flavor, and a whole lot of fun-loving energy, it’s shaping up to be one of the most talked-about food and activity events in the Lehigh Valley. If you like local spots, a little relatability, and a day that doesn’t take itself too seriously, this trail has your name written all over it.
A Big Day Out on the Hellertown-Lower Saucon Taste Trail
The Hellertown-Lower Saucon Taste Trail is proudly presented by the Hellertown-Lower Saucon Chamber and sponsored by Jim Gardener State Farm.
After a sold-out first year with 11 stops, the 2025 event jumps to 16 confirmed businesses, and more may join the lineup. That growth says a lot about how much people enjoyed last year’s flavor-filled adventure.
From the first bite to the last sip, passport holders can expect savory food, sweet treats, creative drinks, wellness experiences, and local activities that show off what makes Saucon Valley feel so alive. Each participating business offers an exclusive sample, tasting, or mini-activity, turning the day into a fun-loving tour of the town’s best ideas, dishes, and personalities.
And unlike fancy food events in big cities, there’s a friendly sense of humor here. You might go from a careful nutrition stop to a plate of wings in under ten minutes, and no one will judge you.
That’s part of the trail’s charm.
Meet the Stops: From Brews and Bites to Bikes and Wellness
This year’s Taste Trail has something for almost every mood and craving. 2025 participating businesses include:
Lost Tavern Brewing, La Maya, B Social, Yiannis Taverna, Frey’s Better Foods, Nick and Noah’s, Drip Flavor Lab, DiMaio’s Pizza, Plaza Azteca, Saylor’s & Co., Braveheart Highland Pub, Taste of Italy, Cross Pizza, Vassi’s Drive In, Saucon Valley Bikes, and Main Street Gym.
Think of it as a flavor tour of Saucon Valley.
You might start with a craft beer, move to tacos or pizza, snag a shake or dessert, then hop over to a wellness stop or gym for a quick reset. It’s the kind of fun-loving mix that makes the day feel playful, not stuffy.
There’s also a real sense of balance.
You can walk, bike, or drive between stops. You can bring friends who are food-obsessed and friends who just want a laid-back day out. Either way, the range of businesses, from Frey’s Better Foods to Saucon Valley Bikes, shows off just how diverse this community has become.
As you move along the Hellertown-Lower Saucon Taste Trail, you’re not just tasting food. You’re meeting owners, hearing stories, and feeling the relatability of people who work hard and still keep their sense of humor.
A Celebration of Small Businesses and Community Pride
For the Chamber, this event is about more than samples and stamps. It’s a way to celebrate the energy of local businesses and invite people to explore beyond their usual spots.
“The Hellertown-Lower Saucon Taste Trail is one of the most engaging and delicious ways to showcase the incredible variety of businesses in our community,” said Jessica O’Donnell Gower, Executive Vice President of Affiliated Chambers for the Greater Lehigh Valley Chamber of Commerce.
