Jul. 6—BETHLEHEM — SteelStacks celebrates Taco SUNDAY when TacoFest returns. Spend July 9 at the SteelStacks campus enjoying tacos from around the Lehigh Valley along with music, activities, and, who could forget, the second annual Chihuahua Beauty Contest.

When it comes to tacos, there are no two alike. Everyone has their own spin, and you can rest assured with these local businesses there will be no shortage of interesting tacos to taste test, including vegan options as well.

A $10.00 general admission ticket to this NEPA food festival gives you access to the food, drinks, and all the fun set to take place. The event opens at 1:00 p.m. and goes until 7:00 p.m. The GA ticket also includes the TacoFest Sensory-Friendly Zone in the Blast Furnace Room.

Although Margarita Madness is already sold out, there are still tickets available for those wanting to enter their dog into the Chihuahua Beauty Contest, starting at 2:00 p.m. Strut your pup for the chance to have your fury friend dubbed Gooddest Doggo, Most Huggable, Cutest tail wiggle, and more!

TacoFest is set for a full day of not only taco-tasting, but also plenty of entertainment for attendees to participate in. You can go bobbing for ghost peppers or become a part of the "Spicy Talk" Comedy Game Show hosted by comedian Jon Lunger. There will also be live music from DJ Leaser of La Mega and Mariachi Maya Internacional.
