Ring in Something New in Downtown Newton!
Strolling the streets around the 1924 Courthouse Square under the sparkle of thousands of twinkling lights is the perfect way to make Christmas memories with family, friends, and neighbors.
Enjoy performances from local school choirs, dance groups, and a special karate demonstration. Crossing off items on your holiday shopping list is a pleasure at Downtown Newton’s retailers, and our restaurants, eateries, tap rooms, and wine bar are ready to welcome you before, during, and after the festivities.
And, if we're lucky, we'll get a special visit from Santa Claus himself to hear everyone’s Christmas wishes and pose for a complimentary photo with you and your loved ones.
Festivities include bounce houses, letters for Santa, hot cocoa and s'mores, and much more!
