ORIGINS  OF  NEWTON  FEST

The idea for Newton Fest began when a group of local citizens realized there was a lack of a community celebration in Newton and wanted to work to provide a weekend of family-friendly, affordable fun. Newton Fest is meant to celebrate what is great about our community. From showcasing Red Pride to admiring Newton's artistic side, the weekend is planned by a group of local citizens and community organizations to provide family-friendly, affordable fun for everyone. The jam-packed weekend is meant for kids, teens, families and adults and organizers hope the event will encourage ALL Newton residents to get out of their homes and celebrate what is great about the community.
