Events (Promotion)
The Promotions committee of our Main Street program is made up of a group of volunteers, Newton Chamber staff, and Main Street staff. Their goal is to encourage local shopping and dining, bring visitors to town, engage residents, and market Downtown Newton as a destination. All activities are designed to encourage economic activity and investment in our community.
Third Thursdays
Choose Newton Main Street partners with the Newton Area Chamber of Commerce to offer monthly late night shopping, dining, and activities downtown every Third Thursday. Not only are stores open late, but most have special activities and events that you can participate in. Don't forget to bring the whole family because there are lots of kids activities available as well.
Follow Choose Newton & the Newton Area Chamber of Commerce on Facebook to see all of the activities that will be happening each Third Thursday.
