The Easton Public Market is hoping to draw more visitors back to the city’s downtown as Gov. Tom Wolf loosens some restrictions on indoor capacity guidelines.
Since January, smaller indoor venues were limited to 10% capacity and larger ones capped at 500 people. Wolf Monday eased up on restrictions, now allowing up to 15% capacity at indoor venues where six-foot distancing can be observed. Masks, however, remain required.
Megan McBride, Easton Market District Director, said with the market having a full slate of food vendors and vaccinations beginning to roll out, there’s hope more visitors could soon frequent the building at 325 Northampton St. She said the market also plans to expand its hours but exactly what and when remains to be ironed out.
