Downtown Easton will host East ON Fest, a free two-night light and projection mapping festival, on Sept. 18 and Sept. 19, 2026. The inaugural event will run from 8 p.m. to 11 p.m. each evening, turning the area into a walkable gallery of art and community installations.

The festival is presented by the East ON Foundation, a newly established nonprofit organization focused on creative placemaking across the Lehigh Valley. Programming will activate the Church Street and Bank Street corridor, including the interior of First UCC Church and the Easton Public Market.

Featured installations include large-scale architectural projections and interactive light pieces created by international, regional, and local artists. Artist Motomichi, visual artist Guache, and Kutztown University professor Josh Miller are among the featured creators contributing work to the festival footprint.

Funding for the event was provided by Pennsylvania Creative Industries, powered by the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts, a state agency funded by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and the National Endowment for the Arts. Additional sponsorship support includes Hindle Power, Fidelity Bank, People’s First, and technology partner Panasonic.

The event is produced in partnership with the City of Easton, alongside support from the Greater Easton Development Partnership and regional educational institutions. Attendance is free and open to the public without ticket requirements.
