    "There are lots of balloon festivals at the end of summer and during the fall in and around town (Lopatcong and the wider county/ Lehigh Valley area) alongside a very large and popular farmer’s market and county fair. I loved going to these events as a little kid and still visit often with my siblings and mother as our grandparents still live here and we are not far. There are other carnivals and mainly markets as well, but the Warren county one is the most prominent. "
