Bundle up, Newton!
Our annual Light Up the Town is this Friday, and we're welcoming winter in Downtown Newton!
Check out our full line-up of partners, featured activities, performers at the Frank & Sue Jones Amphitheatre, and food trucks to get an idea of all we'll have to offer.
A Couple of Quick Reminders:
• Santa Claus will be ready for photos at NoCo Arts! Check in early to grab your appointment ticket, then check out the rest of the Square!
• Parking is a summer breeze when you take advantage of our Holiday Trolley! The Trolley will run between the parking deck at the Catawba County Justice Center (123 Government Dr.) and Downtown Newton. The Trolley is free of charge – with some special Christmas Carolers joining you on your journey to help you get into the holiday spirit!
• There is also free public parking available in many lots just a block or two away from the 1924 Courthouse Square.
• We encourage everyone to visit Downtown Newton shops, restaurants, and stores to warm up, take part in extra holiday happenings, & experience everything that makes Downtown so special!
We can't wait to ring in Christmas with everyone! For more information, please visit downtownnewton.org/lightup
