Downtown Easton

Pro bike racing returns to Downtown Easton, moved to Sunday this year to anchor Memorial Day weekend. Equal 75-minute features for the pro women and pro men headline a day that also stacks a 9 AM 5K, a community ride on the closed course, an Ollie Comp at 3rd & Northampton, and a kids’ race. Free to watch; registration required to run or ride.

Bethlehem Rose Garden Farmers Market — Opening Day & 10th Anniversary

Saturday
11 AM–4 PM
Belleville Market, Downtown Easton
Lemon Fest (Festa del Limone)
Italian citrus-festival energy takes over Belleville Market: lemon pound cake and cocktail tastings, a beginner watercolor bench with Harmony Girl Charm, Mediterranean fragrance demos, and a Sicilian lemon balsamic and Meyer lemon olive oil sampling. Clove Hill Vineyards pours limoncello built from a family recipe carried over from the old country.

Saturday
11 AM–4 PM
Palmer Park Mall
Bloomin’ Hippie Festival
An indoor market leaning all the way into 60s and 70s flower-power: plant vendors, handmade goods, crystals, art, and self-care booths under one roof at Palmer Park Mall. Prizes for Best Dressed Hippie. Free, indoors, and well-suited to a rainy Saturday.
6
Saturday
3–5 PM
Sigal Museum, Downtown Easton
Making the Past: Linoleum Block Printing
First workshop in Sigal Museum’s summer series tied to the Read This! The History of Media in Northampton County exhibition. Carve and print your own linoleum block on a press — and if you grab the All Access Pass, that print becomes the cover of a handmade book you’ll finish across June’s papermaking and July’s bookbinding sessions. $25 per session or $70 for the series; ages 13+, 15 spots.

Saturday
7 PM
Foy Concert Hall, Moravian University
Larry Campbell & Teresa Williams — Godfrey Daniels 50th Jubilee
Godfrey Daniels’ 50th anniversary brings Larry Campbell and Teresa Williams — Levon Helm and Bob Dylan band veterans, musical partners since 1986 — to Moravian’s Foy Concert Hall with their quartet. A milestone concert for a venue that’s been the region’s premier listening room since 1976.
