The week ahead around Glen Court

This is the week-ahead edition of the area roundup for buyers considering 6210 Glen Court in Heidelberg Township, published Thursday, September 17, 2026. It looks at the week to come: the Tigers' next home football game, picture day at Northwestern Elementary, Parkland's education foundation golf outing, the start of Sukkot, a pair of North Whitehall township meetings, and one of the biggest festival weekends of the fall in the Lehigh Valley. As always, schedules shift, so please confirm details directly with the venues and districts linked below before heading out.

Tigers Football: A Home Game Friday the 25th

This week the Northwestern Lehigh Tigers play away at Salisbury on Friday, September 18, at 7:00 p.m. But the game to circle on the calendar is the next one: the Tigers host Saucon Valley at home on Friday, September 25, at 7:00 p.m. in a Colonial League division matchup. A home Friday-night game is the classic Lehigh Valley community event, and for families considering this townhome it is a good chance to feel the school spirit up close. Check the district athletics page before the 25th for ticket information and any schedule changes.

Meanwhile, Northwestern Elementary hosts Dan's Camera Picture Day on Thursday, September 24, from 9:30 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. in the school gym. It is a small but useful marker for families with young children in the district: fall pictures mark the start of the school year, and school calendars are the best place to confirm the day's details.

Parkland: A Fundraising Golf Outing and the Start of Sukkot

Over in the Parkland School District, the Parkland Education Foundation Golf Outing is set for Friday, September 25, at The Club at Twin Lakes. The fundraiser supports academics, arts, athletics, and co-curricular programs across the district, and sponsorships and tickets have been on sale since the summer. It is a good way for parents and community members to give back to Parkland schools.

On the district calendar, the Jewish holiday of Sukkot begins at sundown on Friday, September 25, and runs to sundown on Friday, October 2. Fall athletics are in full swing across Parkland High School, with football, soccer, volleyball, field hockey, cross country, and golf hosting home contests at Parkland High School at 2700 North Cedar Crest Boulevard in Allentown throughout the month. Because the district calendar does not list every late-September contest publicly in advance, the athletics page is the best place to confirm specific home games.

Township Meetings: North Whitehall Next Week

Heidelberg Township's Board of Supervisors met this evening, Thursday, September 17, at 7:30 p.m., on its April-through-October third-Thursday cadence, so the next regular meeting falls in October. In neighboring North Whitehall Township, two recurring meetings land next week at the Municipal Building at 3256 Levans Road in Coplay: the Recreation Board on Monday, September 21, at 7:30 p.m., and the Planning Commission on Tuesday, September 22, at 7:00 p.m. Both are listed as "as needed" sessions on the township's standing schedule, so confirm on the township site before attending. These are the closest local-government meetings to the property in the coming week.

Autumn Officially Arrives Tuesday the 22nd

The autumn equinox lands on Tuesday, September 22, marking the official start of fall. It is the moment the season shifts across the Lehigh Valley, with foliage beginning to turn in the higher Blue Mountain ridges and harvest activity picking up on local farms. It is a fitting week to plan an afternoon outdoors, whether a walk along the D&L Trail at Slatington or a drive up to Bake Oven Knob for a hawk watch, both a short drive from Germansville.

A Big Festival Weekend: Celtic Classic and More

The standout of the coming week is the Celtic Classic Highland Games & Festival, September 25 through 27 in Historic Downtown Bethlehem. Billed as the largest free Celtic festival in North America, it brings five stages of Celtic music, pipe bands, sanctioned highland games, a Tartan Parade, and Celtic food and shopping to the Colonial Industrial Quarter. General admission is free, and it is an easy day trip from Heidelberg Township.

This Saturday, September 19, the New Tripoli Fire Co. Fall Bash offers a community fall event right in the area at the fire company on Decatur Street in New Tripoli, a short drive from the listing. For families, the Fall Festival at Grim's Orchard & Family Farms in Breinigsville is open Sunday, September 20, and Saturday and Sunday, September 26 and 27, 10:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m., with apple and pumpkin picking, a corn maze, and cider donuts.

Elsewhere that weekend, the Lehigh Valley Space Fest lands at Lehigh University on Saturday, September 26, from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., and the Lehigh Valley Zoo hosts its Fall Wine Festival on Saturday, September 26. Over in Whitehall Township, the Fall Fest closes the weekend on Sunday, September 27, at Whitehall Parkway at 4689 South Church Street, with music, food trucks, and local vendors from 2:00 to 7:00 p.m. and free admission.

Where to Eat Nearby

A few current picks close to the listing, many a short drive along Routes 309 and 873. In Slatington, The New Country View Diner & Family Restaurant at 6210 PA-873 is a classic diner stop for breakfast or lunch, and Chris & Eli Family Restaurant at 7115 PA-873 is another neighborhood option.

In New Tripoli, Giuseppe's Pizza at 7432 PA-309 is a family-run pizza pick, joining the Route 309 standbys like China II and Don Corleone's Restaurant & Pizza at 6301 PA-309. Closer to the listing, Joey Mutis at 5326 Heidelberg Heights Road in Germansville and Curious Goods at the Bake Oven Inn on Bake Oven Road remain the closest sit-down spots to the townhome.
