About Easton Pride
Easton Pride is a community celebration honoring LGBTQ+ residents of Easton. 2026 was the second edition after the inaugural event in 2025.
Easton Pride opens with a flag raising in Centre Square. In 2026 speakers included Vice Mayor and City Councilman Frank Pintabone, Greater Easton Development Partnership president Theresa Hogan, Corinne Goodwin of the Eastern PA Trans Equity Project, State Representative Andre Carroll and event organizer Brad Scott Smith.
From Centre Square, a procession led by the Big Easy Easton Brass Band marches down to Riverside Park to open the festival. Local organizations, businesses and groups of friends can register ahead of time as an official group in the procession, or simply show up and join in.
The festival on the riverfront features live music, drag performances, local food and drink vendors and LGBTQ+ community resources, with the Easton-Phillipsburg Free Bridge lit in rainbow colors. After the festival, a 21-and-over after party at the Lafayette Bar features DJ Brad Scott and guest performers. Organizers describe the event as intimate and inclusive, meant to honor the LGBTQ+ residents who shape the city.
