EASTON, Pa. – In Easton, families got a head start on Halloween at a fun, free community celebration. 

The 10th and Pine community garden in Northampton County transformed into a Halloween wonderland Thursday night for the first-ever Ghouls In The Garden celebration.  

Hosted by the Greater Easton Development Partnership’s West Ward Community Initiative, the free event brought families together for some festive fun.

“It was my first time going, and I really liked it,” Easton resident Lucian D’Angelo said.

The idea was brought to the initiative by residents who wanted to create something special for themselves and their neighbors.

“We just want one more nice thing for you as residents to enjoy,” West Ward Community Initiative manager Jacob Behler said.

“I think it’s actually really good that the community got together and, you know, really came together like they’re supposed to, and a lot of communities you don’t see that now, so when you do see that it’s a great thing to see,” Easton resident Carrie Abel said.

With crafts, a costume contest, and lots and lots of candy, Ghouls In The Garden was a spooky success.
