The Best of the Lehigh Valley Party is back! It’s been a long 3 years since we’ve been able to celebrate with you, but we’re back and excited for you to celebrate with us once again on Thursday, July 21st from 7-10 p.m. at Delta Hotels by Marriott Allentown (formerly the Holiday Inn Breinigsville).
We often get many questions as to who’s invited to this annual celebration and the answer is…. everyone! While we’re celebrating our 2022 Best of the Lehigh Valley winners, we invite the public to join us in this celebration of over 100 local businesses.
If you’ve never attended a Best of the Lehigh Valley Party before (or you’re an annual attendee), let us share with you all the fun things we have planned for this year’s event.
Bites and Sips
Arguably the best part of the Best of the Lehigh Valley Party is the opportunity to sample food and drink from Best of the Lehigh Valley winners all under one roof. There will be 14 local businesses offering samples ranging from fro-yo and hot dogs to poutine, beer samples and cheesesteaks. We’ll have Menchie’s, Yocco’s, Ciao Sandwich Shoppe, Local Mama Catering, The Flying V, Union & Finch and so many more of your favorites on-site. Check out the full menu line-up.
Cocktail Demonstration and Tastings
New to the party this year is the opportunity to enjoy a cocktail demonstration with celebrity chef, Robert Irvine in partnership with Boardroom Spirits. All attendees will be able to experience an on-stage cocktail demonstration followed by cocktail tastings provided by Irvine’s Spirits. Fine Wine and Good Spirits will also be popping up an on-site store for all attendees to be able to purchase full-size bottles of Irvine’s Spirits. As an extra special experience for bottle purchasers, Robert Irvine will be available for a meet and greet, bottle signing and photo opp for an exclusive portion of the evening.
Photo Opportunities
You’ll want to make a stop on the red carpet upon arrival for a paparazzi-style photograph sponsored by Member’s 1st Federal Credit Union.
And you know we can’t have a Best of the Lehigh Valley Party without a standout over-the-top balloon photo opp! This year’s party is no different and let’s just say this oversized sparkly disco ball backdrop sponsored by Audi Allentown and created by Blueprint Creations is going to be perfect for all of your photos—just remember to tag us @lvstylemag and #bestofthelv!
Pop-Up Experiences
This is your opportunity to enjoy pop-up experiences from a selection of our 2022 Best of the Lehigh Valley winning business. Check out the lineup:
Forward Thinking Fitness: giveaway game and fitness pong (think oversized beer pong—minus the beer.)
Let’s Play Books: books and gift item pop-up shop
BB DeCheine Fine Men's Salon & Beauty Co.: men’s neckline clean ups with hot towels + paraffin dips with hand/arm massage
Hello Beautiful Salon & Boutique: women’s clothing and accessories pop-up shop
Caricature Drawings
A favorite of attendees year after year, we’re bringing back caricature drawings! Sponsored by Member’s 1st Federal Credit Union, all attendees will be able to get their portraits drawn by the talented Caricatures by Courtney. The line tends to form quickly, so we suggest on participating in this experience early on in the evening.
Live Music and Dance Floor
For the first time ever, we’re starting the evening with live music by Kendal Conrad (2022 Best Local Musician) and transitioning into DJ beats with DJ Brad Scott (2022 Best Party DJ). We hope you enjoy the smooth sounds of Kendal Conrad to start your evening and get ready to break it down on the LED dance floor (complete with lighting and a disco ball overhead) for the second part of the night. We suggest you wear comfortable shoes because we’re turning the night into a full-on dance party!
The best part of all of this? It’s all included in your $50 ticket price! We suggest you purchase tickets ASAP as this highly anticipated event tends to sell out.
