Newton Fest 2021 will undoubtedly be different due to the pandemic but City staff believes that outdoor concerts at Maytag Park are events that meet public health measures but also allow the community to enjoy the outdoors and celebrate our community. Planning for the rest of the Newton Fest weekend is still in the early stages but more announcements will be made this spring. All organizations involved are taking necessary precautions to plan events that keep the community healthy and safe. If public health guidance and/or proclamations are modified, plans will change accordingly. The community’s health is of the utmost importance to all those involved. As more information is available it will be posted here.
