The end of May is for the dogs. Or, at least, Sunday afternoon is for the dogs, when Newton Rotary DogFest takes over the Hyde Playground. There will be vendors, dog treats and more. And the Newton Beacon will have a table with dog photography.

This weekend is also for the artist community. Open Studios, an annual weekend arts extravaganza, will include more than 90 artists at shops and studios, and in homes throughout the villages.

There’s also a fashion show that mocks fascism, for those feeling both revolutionary and silly.

Here are five things to do in Newton this weekend.

Saturday, May 30

From 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., Open Studios will be held at art studios, in homes and in other spaces throughout the city on Saturday and Sunday. This year’s Open Studios has more than 90 participating artists. Check out the Newton Open Studios website for a list of artists and locations. Admission is free.

At 2 p.m. and 4 p.m., Newton Indivisible will host a Fascism Fashion Show, as part of Newton Open Studios, as a satirical statement on the state of the nation, in the backyard of organizer Karen Bray, 38 Stearns St., Newton Centre. If it ends up being a rainy day, the event will be on Sunday, same times.

Sunday, May 31

From 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., the Hyde Community Center, 90 Lincoln St., Newton Highlands, will host Newton Rotary DogFest. There will be vendors, a parade, treats and fun activities for dogs and their owners, including a photo booth at the Newton Beacon table. The event, previously scheduled for Saturday, has been rescheduled due to rain. Admission is free.

From 3 to 5 p.m., the New Philharmonia will perform “POPS: Family Favorites,” featuring teachers and choruses from Newton Public Schools plus soloists from Boston College, performing music from “KPop Demon Hunters,” “Wicked,” Queen, Stevie Wonder and more. Tickets are $10 and $20.

From 2 to 3 p.m., Anastasia Seifetdinova, acclaimed pianist, will perform piano music by Brahms and Schumann as well as by composers from the 20th century from her native Ukraine, at the Newton Free Library, 330 Homer St. Admission is free.
