EASTON, Pa. — Heritage Day festivities are already underway in Easton Friday night.
The celebration kicked off with the first ever Bachmann Block Party, bringing live music, food, and history together in the heart of downtown Easton.
If Heritage Day is Easton’s biggest celebration of history, Friday night is the party before the party.
“It’s beautiful out, the music is wonderful, they got the game on, you got drinks, what more could you need,” one person said.
The Bachmann Block Party transformed North Second Street into a celebration of Easton, with live music, food, drinks, and plenty of people getting a jump start on their weekend festivities.
“I love it so much,” said Easton resident Rebecca Stewart.
Stewart has lived in Easton for 10 years. She says she came for the live music.
“I love Old Lady. Love all the live music,” she said.
This is Heritage Day’s first block party ever, and people are enjoying it.
“It’s just nice to be out when it’s not a million degrees and free music, can’t beat it,” said Emily Dings.
Carol Bear says they hope they do it next year.
“I think that’s a very good thing. We need to get together and have fun and relax and be normal,” Bear said.
For the people of Easton, Friday night is just the start of the celebration.
