Art District - Allentown, PA Area Guide

Allentown’s artistic enclave for arts and culture

Urban Artistic Culture Museum Trendy

As its name implies, the Art District is a hub for the arts and culture. Located in the heart of Downtown Allentown, the district is home to trendy restaurants, Arts Park, and the historic Miller Symphony Hall, a 19th-century theater that hosts live performances and the Allentown Symphony Orchestra. Arts Park is a popular spot for concerts and festivals while the ArtsWalk Pocket Park nearby hosts year-round events including comedy shows and movie nights. The Allentown Art Museum is located just outside of the Art District as well. This lively neighborhood has high-rise apartments in stately brick buildings, but there are sleek modern options available for rent as well.
