EM 26: Anniversary Weekend

Celebrate, create, and connect during this Memorial Day weekend gathering as we mark the close of our 25th year and step into the summer season. The weekend is designed as a shared experience of reflection, celebration, creativity, and community connection.

This year’s program places a special emphasis on the arts. Across the weekend, a talented group of artists and facilitators will offer performances, workshops, and creative experiences in music, movement, visual art, and storytelling. You are warmly invited to enjoy their work and immerse yourself in the creative atmosphere, with no pressure to perform.

If you feel inspired to participate more actively, there will also be opportunities to learn directly from these artists and explore your own creative spark. Guided experiences in movement, music, visual art, and more will create space for self-expression and discovery.

These offerings will lead into a collaborative mini arts showcase and gala concert, celebrating the creativity that lives within this community.

Longtime Easton friends, community members, and first-time guests are all welcome. This is a chance to experience the heart of Easton, where people gather to celebrate, connect, and create together.
