Free parking
Park for free and take a stroll downtown on weekday evenings and weekends!
The City of Easton, in cooperation the the County of Northampton, is making free parking available to visitors at two county courthouse parking lots along Washington Street at the intersection with Union Street.
Look for the blue A-frame signs indicating free parking. Park the car, and then make the short walk to Downtown or into the West Ward neighborhood.
This is a great option on State Theatre show nights to avoid downtown traffic at the two city garages.
