“August slipped away like a moment of time, because it was never mine.” — Taylor Swift

August has come to an end, and the summer is wrapping up as well. There’s still time to enjoy it, though. Check out a chime concert in West Newton. Join a book club. Take the kids crafting. Help get rid of invasive plants while you soak up some of the last days of the season.

Temperatures are expected to be in the low-70s all weekend with no rain, but this is New England so that could change.

Here are five things to do in Newton this weekend.

Friday, Aug. 29

From 6 to 9 p.m., Tango Mango will have Live Guitar with Armando.

Saturday, Aug. 30

From 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., head over to Newton North High School for the Saturday Farmers Market.

Sunday, Aug. 31

From 8:30 to 10 a.m., the Newton Conservators are hosting an invasives pull at the Saw Mill Brook. The group will meet at the Vine Street parking lot across from Hollywood Drive.
