Summer vibes 📈

Flicks from last week's Music on Main in Downtown Newton!

Our first double dip of the year!

4️⃣ PM: Our weekly Newton Farmers Market at Herbert M. Yount Memorial Park (33 East A St.) with vendors from around the area!

🔗🌾: downtownnewton.org/farmersmarket

6️⃣ PM: We kick off summer and embrace the heat with Music on Main!

Tonight's performer is Bourbon Sons – sharp hooks, big guitars, and a sense of humor that never takes itself too seriously. Rooted in tradition but built for the modern road.

Grab the sunscreen, a couple of lawn chairs, and post up around at the Frank & Sue Jones Amphitheatre to start your weekend in Downtown Newton!

Known for serving breakfast all day, handcrafted coffee, and seasonal menu offerings, Morning Glory Cafe offers a gathering place for residents and visitors alike.

Here's to a successful first year and many more to come!
