Newton Springfest
Details
- Newton Springfest (formerly Family FunFEST) is a lively community celebration of art, music, and local culture. Set right at Newton City Hall, the festival features live musical entertainment, dance performances, interactive community art projects, and a wide array of craft vendors. With carnival rides and activities for all ages, it’s the perfect midday weekend outing to welcome the warmer weather.
- Parking: There is a large, free parking lot located directly behind Newton City Hall (accessible via Homer Street). If that fills up, you can also use the adjacent Newton Free Library parking lot or look for street parking along Commonwealth Avenue and Homer Street.
- Why it’s great for connecting: This festival is an amazing hub for meeting neighbors, local artisans, and young families. Because of the interactive community art projects and relaxed vendor browsing, it naturally encourages conversation. It's an ideal spot to connect with fellow art lovers, parents, and civic-minded residents who are passionate about supporting local culture.
