August 26, 2016

If you live in the Lehigh Valley, then you should know there are a ridiculous amount of ways to not be bored during any given weekend.

The Alternative Gallery will host the Vintage Out Look "Stick Up" fashion show, 6 p.m. Saturday at its Allentown headquarters, 707 N. Fourth St. Check out designs by Vintage HomeBase, ABE, Como, SmallCircle, FreeFlow and Apex.

In addition to live music, the first 20 people through the door will receive a $5 gift card to one of the participating vendors.

2.) Somewhere outside of Barstow

Sip on a cup o' Joe while drooling over rare, exotic and custom rides.

5.) 'Viva'

Allentown's Civic Theatre will screen the 2015 independent film Viva 7:30 p.m. Sunday as part of its LGBT Film Series.

6.) Latino love

The exhibition "Our America: The Latino Presence in American Art" this weekend and runs through Oct. 2 at the Allentown Art Museum of the Lehigh Valley, 31 N. Fifth St., Allentown.

Organized by the Smithsonian American Art Museum, "Our America" features works by Latino artists in the United States -- including pieces by artists of Mexican, Puerto Rican, Cuban and Dominican descent. The exhibition is presented in the Scheller, Rodale and Fowler galleries and Trexler Hall.

7.) Quiche-y
