Gather at the gates to the beautiful Lehighton Cemetery. This living history tour will let you meet some of the former residents and hear their stories. Meet a survivor of the Gnaden Huetten Massacre, T.A. Snyder, a well-to-do Lehightonian from the early days, and others. Tours will leave as people gather.

7-9 p.m. Music in the Park: Keystone Band Brass Quintet, the Keystone Band Brass is made up of six central Pennsylvania instrumentalists who have played together for years, in various combinations, as members of local bands and groups, and one vocalist. As a traditional brass quintet (two trumpets, French horn, trombone, and tuba), our large music library covers a wide variety of styles, ranging from ragtime, to big band, to show tunes, to oldies, to classical, with songs of faith.
