Posted On June 11, 2026 By lvwithlove In Blog /

610 Day, or June 10, is also known as “610 Day,” which is a nod to the 610 area code. For a lot of us, 610 still feels like the Lehigh Valley area code, even though it came after the 215 days and before 484 entered the chat.

A little phone-number history: 610 was placed into service in January 1994 after being split from the 215 area code, which had covered much of southeastern Pennsylvania since 1947. The 484 overlay was introduced in June 1999 for the same region, which meant 10-digit dialing became part of local life. Today, 610 and 484 cover the same general region, which includes the Lehigh Valley, with 835 also added in 2022.

On Memorial Day morning, a single solemn melody will move through Bethlehem, passed from musician to musician in a citywide act of remembrance.

The 13th annual TAPS over Bethlehem returns Monday, May 25, 2026, with 61 trumpet players lining the streets from Nisky Hill Cemetery to Memorial Park Cemetery. The first notes will sound at 8 a.m. from Nisky Hill Cemetery, beginning a continuous performance of “Taps” that carries across Bethlehem before ending at the flagpole in Memorial Park Cemetery.

The event began in 2014 through the vision of Dan Deysher, a World War II veteran, Liberty High School alumnus, Navy musician, and longtime Bethlehem resident who believed deeply in the power of a live bugler to honor fallen service members.
