The Farmers Market comes back next weekend and I can't wait! Our farmers market is the oldest in the nation, and the best thing about weekends in Easton from Spring to Fall, complete with live music and all kinds of festivities. When I moved here four and a half years ago, the market was really hurting, and I was worried that it might go under, but the folks at Easton's Main Street Initiative have done an incredible job of planning and marketing and bringing the market back to its current, flourishing state. Last year's market was the best yet, and this summer's market stands to blow last year's away, with over 35 vendors (click here for a list of all 35, compiled by Kelly Huth of the Express-Times), live bands, cooking demonstrations and all kinds of other activities planned. Click here to see the Opening Day schedule for next Saturday, May 7th, which is focused on cultivating and cooking with fresh herbs. As this is the first market of the year, the whole town is bound to come out for the event, never mind all the visitors from Bethlehem, Allentown and the surrounding townships--see you there!
