About the event
Ahead of Memorial Day, honor those who died while serving in the United States Armed Forces. Join us for a community walk inside Easton Cemetery with live music, and casual docent tours. Cemetery visitors will be treated to a concert by 14 members of Easton's Municipal Band at the overlook, just below the monument of Thomas Coates (b. 1803 - d. 1895).
In the era before records and radio live band music was an important part of American life, Coates was one of its masters. Nationally known, he is considered by many to be the “Father of Band Music in America." PLUS, we are happy to be a "Flower Fabrication Station" for PETALS IN THE PARK: a big blooming community art project. Members of the public are invited to help create a gigantic, whimsical paper garden of colossal proportions. All materials will be provided.
