Picnic in Easton Cemetery Saturday

For the Arts Community of Easton, the city's cemetery on 7th street is as much a place for people to come together and live as it is to remember the dead.

That's why it's hosting its first Summer Picnic there this Saturday as a way to get people thinking differently about the cemetery, and as a way to raise money to help beautify it.

The picnic will run from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. and will feature Art in Action demonstrations, walking tours given by the Sigal Museum, live music, scavenger hunts and yoga demonstrations from Easton Yoga.

ACE will also display works by local artists that reimagine the cemetery's area markers and trash containers.

Tickets are $15 per person, or $25 for couples, or $40 for families (3-5 people). You can get them at the ACE tent at the Easton Farmers Market on Saturday, or buy them online.

To get there, you can take a trolley from Centre Square to the cemetery.
