What is the West End Theatre District?
The West End Theatre District is a designated area of Allentown, Pennsylvania, in close proximity to many of the city’s most significant assets such as Muhlenberg College, the Allentown Fairgrounds, and Lehigh Valley Hospital. Centered around the The Civic Theater of Allentown, the District has developed over the last 100 years into a dining, retail and cultural hub that is enhanced by grassroots initiatives and community events organized by its residents and business owners.
The West End Theatre District serves the community with dual purpose as
A Local Residential Neighborhood Center that encourages a sense of comradery among homeowners and renters through community-wide service projects, dynamic social events, and open lines of communication that support a pedestrian-friendly atmosphere and safe living conditions. As a “main street” with demographics that have always been fluid, the West End Theatre District exemplifies the best of what culturally rich and ethnically diverse neighborhoods have to offer.
A Regional Specialty Shopping, Dining, and Entertainment Destination by encouraging an assorted business district that is accessible to all. The West End Theatre District provides a fun and distinctive visitor experience. Every storefront and bar-back is accustomed to a friendly-tone set by the unique architecture, shared green spaces and clean sidewalks that surround it. The people who operate the businesses do their part to individualize each customer visit and focus on creating a sustainable environment that will appeal to the Greater Lehigh Valley for generations to come.
