Seven things to do this weekend in the Lehigh Valley

October 21, 2016

Looking for a fun way to relax this weekend? 

Well, no need to break a sweat wondering how to spend the next 48 hours. 

Here are seven things to do this weekend in the Lehigh Valley:

1.) Haunted Easton

Learn about Easton's haunted past with a spooky stroll downtown. The 13th annual Haunted Easton Walking Tour returns 8 tonight and Saturday, starting in Centre Square. Tickets cost $20.

Tour re-enactor Carter Lansing, of Williams Township, teases treats and a few tricks for this year's tour. "We've been working hard to bring some new energy to the group this year. I don't want to spoil anything, but, we have some guest narrators along with favorite classic stories told in a new way."

2.) Double-Dip That Comedy Chip

Start your evening off right by venturing upstairs to the Fowler Blast Furnace Room of the ArtsQuest Center at SteelStacks in Bethlehem for stand-up comedy courtesy of Lehigh Valley native Jim Tews. Show time is 8 o'clock. Tickets cost $10, $9 for ArtsQuest members.

Then, head downstairs and laugh your ass off watching Bethlehem-based improv comedy troupe ManDudeBro make up an entire show on the spot, live on the Frank Banko Alehouse Cinemas stage inside the ArtsQuest Center at SteelStacks in Bethlehem. Go ahead, let Jon Lunger, Matt Candio, Dan Maher and Evan Stutts tickle your funny bone. You won't regret it. Show time is 10:30 p.m. Tickets cost $4-$6.

3.) 'Space' jams

Saturday's "Space Rock Jamboree" at The Gin Mill & Grille in Northampton will feature six local bands rocking and rolling to help fight cancer: Appalachian Gypsy Tribe, The Beings, The Frequency Collage, The Keystone Drifters, Hairy Dudini and Chewbacca's Sac.

Cost is $5 suggested donation at the door. Proceeds will benefit the Chef Jeff Cancer Fund. The Gin Mill is located at 1750 Main St., Northampton.

4.) Heavy

Throw up the horns and get your metal fix with Goat Wizard, Mutant Scum and Snakes of Christ, tonight at The Funhouse, 5 E. Fourth St., Bethlehem.

The riffs begin at 10 o'clock.

5.) 'Pumpkin' patch

The 1988 cult horror classic Pumpkinhead returns to the big screen, 9:50 tonight and Saturday at The Emmaus Theatre, 19 S. Fourth St., Easton.

Tickets cost $8. Both screenings are BYOB. 

6.) Elvis

Elvis Costello returns Sunday to the Lehigh Valley for a headlining performance at the Sands Bethlehem Event Center, 77 Sands Blvd., Bethlehem. This time, the man behind "Alison," "Pump It Up" and "Radio, Radio" will be joined by his band, The Imposters. 

Tickets cost $69.50-$89.50. (Sure, the price may seem a bit steep, but trust me, it's worth every penny.)

7.) CAROLINE IN THE CITY

Singer-songwriter Caroline Reese & The Drifting Fifth will perform Saturday at Allentown's Coffee House Without Limits, 707 N. Fourth St., Allentown.

Reese will get support from opening act The Red Lights. Show time is 7 p.m.
