The 14th Blues, Brews & Barbecue festival took over downtown Allentown on Saturday, July 23, 2022. This year's event featured over 50 vendors along with 15 musical acts including Mr. Sipp, Veronica Lewis, the Groove Merchants, and Anthony Clark. Some past WDIY guests also performed including Dustin Douglas & The Electric Gentlemen, Craig Thacher, and Steve Brosky.
The musical artists weren't the only thing heating up Allentown as the temperature climbed to a high of 94 degrees during the afternoon, according to the National Weather Service. This was the latest day in a heat wave impacting the Lehigh Valley that’s brought five consecutive days of temperatures in the 90s.
WDIY staff and volunteers were also there all day talking with attendees and giving away free WDIY swag. Check out some photos above.
