A Time for Togetherness- To say these are trying times is quite obviously an understatement. We’ve never been through something like this before, not as a community, state, nation, nor world. But beneath the frustration and bewilderment, I’ve seen hope and perseverance from our business community, and it makes me optimistic that our Easton businesses […]
March 2020- Before jumping into the great spring events and activities we have planned, I want to start with a big THANK YOU to all of our businesses, partners, volunteers, and attendees that made our first-ever Chesapeake Fire & Ice Festival a smashing success. The weekend brought thousands of families to downtown Easton to enjoy […]
February 2020- During the summer of 2018 we sat in our office and tasked ourselves with developing an event that would bring locals and visitors together downtown during the winter season while also supporting our small businesses. 18 months later, that event is coming to fruition this weekend with the inaugural Chesapeake Fire & Ice […]

Below you’ll find […]
September 2019- The shift from summer to fall in Easton is brisk, as the sudden surge of cooler weather brings about summer style sales and fall festivals, which kicked off with the recent Monty Alexander Jazz Festival over Labor Day weekend. To be honest, autumn is our favorite time of year in Easton, as it […]
August 2019- As the Comptroller says, “It’s the most wonderful shopping time of the year.” Shop Maryland Tax-Free Week is almost here. And while the week is meant to promote back-to-school shopping in Maryland retailers, it’s important to remember that this is a great opportunity to promote the savings that all your customers can receive, […]
