2018-Grandstand Shows
Tickets on sale now
A major Truck and Tractor Pull will kick off the Fair on Tuesday, August 28 starting at 6:30 p.m. at the Fair’s Grandstand. A classic attraction at agricultural fairs nationwide, the last event of its kind at the Fair happened in 1988.
First-time spectators as well as truck and tractor pull aficionados can expect a premier event featuring two sleds forcing the brutes of the sport—diesel tractors, gas modified trucks and semis—to pull their own weight in fierce competition.
Plumes of smoke and spinning tires excite “pull” crowds as the weight resistance for the largest of the vehicles can approach 8,000 pounds.
The increasing popularity of events produced by local promoter Lorah’s Truck and Tractor Pulls of Walnutport in cooperation with major sled distributor Crouse Sled Rental prompted the Fair to add this attraction to its line-up of concerts and its traditional finale demolition derby at the Grandstand.

Gabriel Iglesias, one of America’s must successful stand-up comedians, is bringing his One Show Fits All World Tour to The Great Allentown Fair.
Gabriel Iglesias’s animated storytelling and parodies have made him a favorite on Comedy Central shows including his hit series Stand Up Revolution. The cable network’s premier of his two-night comedy special Gabriel Iglesias: Aloha Fluffy reached 15 million viewers.
The comedian nicknamed “Fluffy” is a frequent guest on late night talk shows. His comedic bits have over 300-million views on YouTube and his sixth one-hour comedy special, I’m Sorry For What I Said When I Was Hungry, has been streaming on Netflix since late 2016.
Iglesias is the youngest of six children born and raised in California by a single mother. Transferring the humor he used to deal with obstacles he faced as a child into a 20-year-career on stage, he honed his comedic skills in biker bars and small clubs and then rose to sold-out arenas.
Tickets for the Gabriel Iglesias show are $29 and $49
