For a Nashville-based artist, there’s no stage quite like the one in your own backyard. That’s exactly the sentiment driving Georgia Owen’s weekend homecoming.
Coming off the '09 Honda Tour and the release of her single "Denim Dancing Diva," Nashville's Georgia Owen takes the stage for back-to-back live performances in her New Jersey hometown.
Growing up in Allentown, Harvest Fest was always something I looked forward to. Now that I’m living in Nashville, it’s really special to come home and play for the community I grew up in.”— Georgia Owen
ALLENTOWN, NJ, UNITED STATES, October 10, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — The rising country-pop singer-songwriter and Allentown native is trading Music City for Main Street this weekend as she headlines the 13th Annual Allentown Fall Harvest Festival. The two-day event, running October 10–11, 2026, takes over downtown Allentown, New Jersey, with craft beverages, local food offerings, and live entertainment centered on the popular Lions Club Beer Garden, situated behind the Imlay House at 28 S. Main Street.
Owen, who has been steadily building a name for herself in the country-pop arena, is slated to perform on both days of the festival, assuming the weather cooperates. Her homecoming begins Saturday, October 10, with an intimate solo acoustic set scheduled from 2:45 PM to 4:45 PM. She returns to the stage Sunday, October 11, delivering a high-energy performance alongside her full band from 4:00 PM to 7:00 PM.
“Growing up in Allentown, Harvest Fest was always something I looked forward to,” said Owen. “Now that I’m living in Nashville, it’s really special to come home and play for the community I grew up in.”
This return to New Jersey comes on the heels of a breakout period for the performer, marked by significant touring and recording momentum. Owen has made a name for herself through high-profile festival and venue appearances, including sets at the Barefoot Country Music Fest, the legendary Stone Pony, and more than 35 performances during her extensive 09 Honda Tour. Her latest musical output is anchored by the recent release of her single, “Denim Dancing Diva.”
“I love seeing everyone come together to support local businesses and enjoy live music,” Owen added. “It’s one of those weekends that reminds me why I love my hometown.”
The Allentown Fall Harvest Festival Lions Club Beer Garden opens to festivalgoers aged 21 and over (with valid ID and cover charge), featuring craft beers, ciders, seltzers, and wine, with food supplied by the Hope Fire Company. All proceeds raised over the weekend support the Allentown Lions Club’s community projects, student scholarships, and local medical equipment assistance programs.
