10 Things to Do in Easton This Weekend

The start of the Easton Farmers' Market is only just part of a busy weekend in the city.

 

Busy, busy weekend ahead folks, so let's just get right to it.

1. The Easton Farmers' Market opens for the season on Saturday, from 9 a.m. to noon in Centre Square. It will run from this weekend until November. Opening ceremonies on Saturday begin promptly at 9, with a reading from Easton town crier David Rose, and some words from state Rep. Bob Freeman.

2. Also Saturday: The Easton House Tour is back for its 32nd year. It begins at Riverside Park, and runs from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. (We're attaching a PDF of ticket locations, many of which are here in Easton.) The tour includes historic homes on the South Side, in the West Ward, on College Hill, in Downtown, and in Forks Township.

3. Feel like getting some exercise: head to Centre Square Saturday at 10 a.m. to take part in this year's Trek the Two Rivers, which raises awareness for bladder cancer.

4. The summer-long Live at Riverside concert series begins tonight, with the Easton and Phillipsburg high school jazz bands playing at Riverside Park starting at 7:30 p.m.

5. The School of Rock plays a Pink Floyd Tribute Concert Saturday at 7 p.m. at the Third Street Alliance, with two more shows following at 4 p.m. and 7 p.m. on Sunday.

6. Interested in jazz? Head to the Lafayette Bar at 9 p.m. Saturday to catch Tom Goehring, Rob Middleton and the Go Trio.

7. The First United Church of Christ holds its spring rummage sale starting Saturday at 9 a.m.

8. Ever wonder about those symbols on the sides of barns? Eric Claypoole will present a talk on hex signs Saturday at 1 p.m. at the Sigal Museum.

9. Photographer Elizabeth Wyant presents "LizOgraphy," an exhibit of her work, Saturday from noon to 4 p.m. at the Quadrant. It will be on display until May 27.

10. Lafayette College's Marquis Consort group will perform Sunday at 3 p.m. at the college's Williams Center. The group performs a "diverse mix of music repertories ranging from sixteenth-century Spanish music to traditional Irish music," the school says. It's led by music professor Jorge Torres.
