Peace Candle, Shop Local Saturday This Weekend

Hello everyone. If you work for a place that lets its workers take off Thursday and Friday, then congratulations, it's the weekend!

If you work for a retailer, or, say, a hospital, you might be in for a rough two days.

No matter what your schedule, there's a lot to do in Easton this week from Friday night on, starting with the annual Peace Candle lighting.

The candle itself gets lit at 8 p.m. in Centre Square, but all of downtown Easton will be busy from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m.

More than 30 downtown businesses will be holding open houses. There'll be live music, ice sculpting, a Santa parade, and more. Be sure to check out our complete schedule.

Also this weekend:

• If you don't feel like fighting your way through Target or Kohl's on Black Friday, head into downtown Easton the next day for Shop Local Saturday. Several downtown businesses will be offering deals.
• RE:find marks the opening of its art show "Holiday Interpretations," Saturday at 5:30 p.m. The show features a number of local artists, including Brian Barnhart, Berrisford Boothe, Arturo Cabrera, Jamie & Mike Cabreza, Tom D'Angelo, Joey Gourniak, Bill Hudders, Ken Jones Jr., Lee Leckey, Peter Lewnes, Fares Rizk, Barbara Rubin, and Eugene Sell. 
• The New York Tenors—Andy Cooney, David Rodriguez and Michael Amante—bring their Christmas show "Memories of Herald Square" to the State Theatre Saturday at 7:30 p.m.
• Two Rivers Brewing has two shows this weekend: Hot Bijouxx Friday at 9 p.m., and the Go Trio Saturday at 9 p.m.
