HELLERTOWN, PA — September 23, 2025 — The Hellertown-Lower Saucon Chamber of Commerce is preparing for a day of food, drinks, and local experiences as the Hellertown-Lower Saucon Taste Trail returns for its second year on Saturday, September 27.

Each stop will offer an exclusive sample, tasting, or activity, giving visitors a well-rounded taste of Saucon Valley culture.
“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. “We’re proud to see this event grow from 11 businesses last year to 16 and counting in 2025. It’s proof of the energy and passion of our small businesses, and it’s a celebration that brings neighbors, families, and friends together.”
Guests may begin the trail at any participating business, collecting stamps on their event passport.
