EASTON, Pa. — A downtown Easton event that combines an afternoon of shopping with food and drink sampling is returning to Easton on April 15 – just in time for Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, graduations, and summer wedding season.

Spring Into Easton (new.springintoeaston.com), organized by the Greater Easton Development Partnership (GEDP), will run from noon to 4 p.m. at more than a dozen retail locations that offer friendly service and quality merchandise including clothing, jewelry, housewares, health and beauty goods, antiques and collectibles, books, original artwork, and much more.

Different foods or libations – all from Easton-based sources — will be offered at each location, allowing shoppers to sample a variety of tastes while they browse locally-owned stores, boutiques and galleries.

“It’s an opportunity to showcase all that Easton has to offer – a diversity of shopping experiences as well as our reputation as the Lehigh Valley’s culinary capital,” said Marcy McKinney, manager of special events and promotions at GEDP. “Plus you really work up an appetite with all that shopping!”

Tickets are available for $10 online at purplepass.com/springintoeaston or day-of for $15 at the event’s information table in Centre Square. Participants will receive a map that can be punched at each retailer and entered in a raffle with prizes consisting of gift cards from participating businesses.

Spring Into Easton was last held in 2019; it was postponed during the COVID-19 pandemic.
