Laini’s List of 9 Things to Do this Weekend – May 8, 9 & 10, 2026

Friday, Saturday & Sunday

LaFarm

Pay-what-you-can seedlings grown by Lafayette students—vegetables, herbs, flowers, and native plants, chemical-free from the campus greenhouse. The Mother’s Day timing is not accidental: this is the skip-the-supermarket-bouquet move. Farm tours and food on site all weekend.

Friday

7 PM (film at 8:15 PM)

Easton Area Neighborhood Center, Easton

Outdoor screening of The Lorax with seed planting, pot painting, Truffula tree-making, and film bingo before the movie rolls at 8:15. Hosted with the City’s Urban Conservation Department and Lafayette students. Free popcorn—bring a chair or blanket.

Saturday

10 AM–4 PM

ArtsQuest Center at SteelStacks

150-plus vendors spread across the SteelStacks campus—handmade goods, vintage finds, art, specialty food, and small businesses set beneath the blast furnaces. Third Belleville faire, reportedly the biggest yet. Free, rain or shine, dogs welcome.

Saturday

11 AM–5 PM

Meuser Park, Wilson Borough

UPDATE: CANCELED

The second year of Wilson Borough’s food truck takeover at Meuser Park—multiple trucks, an outdoor park setting, and the kind of neighborhood energy that makes a Saturday afternoon feel like a community event rather than just lunch.

Saturday

1 PM (doors)

Connexions Gallery, Easton

The Liz Keough Orchestra swings through Connexions Gallery’s courtyard on a May afternoon, with Milan Stevens’ duo Pale Fire opening. BYO—the event listing actually tells you which stores are closest. $25 at the door.

Saturday

1–2:30 PM

Easton Area Public Library

Adults and families dig into how origami principles are now driving everything from micro-medicine to space exploration design. Hands-on, free, and a strong antidote to a screen-heavy week. Registration required.

Saturday

6–10 PM

Hangdog Brewing Co., Easton

Grateful Dead tribute Life After Dead plays under glow lights in Hangdog’s dog-friendly beer garden, with night climbs running on the ropes course next door. Free glow sticks and glow glasses while supplies last. No cover.

Saturday

6:30–9:30 PM

Lehigh University Art Galleries

Closing celebration for LUAG’s centennial exhibition featuring 100 local Lehigh Valley artists—vinyl DJ from NiteLiters, food trucks outside, lite bites and drinks inside. Free and open to all. Arrive by 7:45 for the welcome remarks.

Sunday

2–4 PM

52 S. Second St., Easton

Outdoor group drumming in the courtyard behind a studio on South Second Street, Sunday afternoon — the premise is simple and the setting is perfect for it. Get a ticket to reserve your drum seat.
